The Story

1957 Les Paul Made 2 Measure Single-Pickup Goldtop VOS

One pickup and GO! This is a famous Music Zoo Single-Pickup Les Paul - a '57 Reissue from the Made 2 Measure division of the Gibson Custom Shop with a VOS Goldtop finish and just a bridge humbucker remaining. The control layout is the vertical Les Paul Junior configuration with the volume and tone down towards the tailpiece. This one rings out like a bell and is only 7 lbs, 13 oz!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags and Paperwork
