Gibson Les Paul 57 Goldtop Reissue (1995)
Gibson Les Paul 57 Goldtop Reissue (1995)
Is that already vintage...? After all this Goldtop from the early days of the Gibson Custom Shop has almost 30 years under its belt. But it has held up extremely well: apart from the usual signs of wear on the finish and binding, which indicate a busy life as a live guitar, the guitar is in top condition. And you don't often see such a deep golden color: not only beautiful but also super authentic! The neck has a strong profile, which is more familiar today from the 58s, and is simply fantastically comfortable in the hand. Even played dry it produces a loud, direct sound with great natural compression and plenty of sustain. Things then heat up at the amp. You quickly realize that the "57 Classic" pickups want to rock - power chords are heard with a lot of thrust, single notes are wonderfully creamy and singing. But even without distortion the guitar cuts a top figure with a really nice sparkle from the speakers. If you want a great Les Paul with a visible history and the best practical value at a top price, you can't go wrong here! Surprisingly the frets have virtually no visible traces of use.
