The Story

1957 Les Paul Reissue Double Gold Top Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard

This is a used and still in super clean condition Gibson Custom Shop '57 Les Paul with a 'Double Gold' finish and a coveted Brazilian rosewood fretboard! The guitar was part of a limited run of only 100 guitars, and has no major marks on it, just a few light pickmarks if you look hard enough. Built with the utmost attention to detail and True Historic specifications, this guitar boasts a 1 piece mahogany body with 2 piece maple top, VOS finish, a '57 Chunky C mahogany neck with Brazilian fingerboard, Custombucker alnico III magnet humbuckers, True Historic hardware, Kluson tuners, and hide glue construction. The original case and certificate of authenticity are included.
