The Story

1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue Made 2 Measure Goldtop Darkback Sorted for Lightweight

A '57 Goldtop that weighs 7 lbs, 12 oz?! Heck yeah! This is a Zoo-spec'd '57 Les Paul in a Goldtop finish with a Darkback stain to the mahogany body and neck, sorted for lightweight woods to bring it to that excellent size. We went with a set of uncovered Custombuckers and matching pickup rings to pop nicely against the gold!

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