The Story

Used 1998 Les Paul Electric Guitar Goldtop

Here’s a ’57 Goldtop at a price that won’t make you wary of taking it out to the gig. A used 1998 Custom Shop reissue in excellent players grade condition. The guitar has a maple cap on a solid mahogany body, chunky mahogany neck, and nickel hardware. This Les Paul has lacquer checking around the knobs and stoptail posts, some scratching on back, and a few dings and dents around the sides and backside edges. The bridge pickup was changed to a 498T (which was gold, but the gold plating has worn off of the cover, the pole pieces are still gold). The original 57 Classic is not included. The guitar includes the original hardshell case.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
