The historic 1956 Les Paul Goldtop returns in this vintage reissue from Gibson Custom Shop. With screaming P-90 pickups, an ABR-1 bridge and a lightweight stopbar tailpiece, every detail has been painstakingly recreated. The following year, Gibson would move on to the more modern PAF pickups, but there are many who love the warm, big sound of those vintage P-90s. This pickup and bridge combination delivers a versatile sound that goes from a glassy, bell-like tone to overdriven grunge, making the 1956 Goldtop Reissue suitable for a variety of styles. Featuring a fat ‘50s mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and a mahogany body topped with maple, this Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul has also been very lightly aged for just a hint of stage wear.Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Main Features
