The Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS is a stunning recreation of one of the most charismatic guitars in Gibsons long history. With an all-solid mahogany body a plain maple top fitted with hide glue and that unmistakable Double Gold finish its a guitar that immediately feels special in the hands. This Reissue captures the vibe and attitude of a mid-50s Les Paul complete with vintage-accurate P-90 pickups that offer a lively mix of clarity punch and growl. From bluesy bite to thick rock rhythms the 56 formula delivers tones that are effortlessly expressive.
A long-tenon mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C carve gives the guitar a reassuringly traditional feel while the Indian rosewood fingerboard and narrow/tall Historic frets make bends and vibrato beautifully responsive. Period-correct hardware such as the no-wire ABR-1 bridge lightweight aluminium stop bar and Kluson tuners keep the guitar playing and sounding authentic. Finished in Gibsons VOS nitro treatment for subtle ageing this is a faithful resonant Les Paul built for players who want a true slice of Gibson heritage.
