2016 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul ’57 Historic Reissue VOS (SOLD)

SOLD
Here comes Mr Big Daddy! If you like Les Paul guitars than you have to try this! This is a 57 Goldtop or R7 as we all call it. This is the latest model with all the features that we like on the post 2013 Custom Shop Les Pauls. The finish is Antique Gold and it looks just wonderful! Also the VOS treatment added a bit of patina to the metal parts and the finish…amazing. We love the natural back too, it just shows what a lovely piece of wood this is. As we all know this has a non-chambered, one piece mahogany body, one piece mahogany neck, one piece rosewood fretboard, bumblebee caps and the fantastic CustomBucker hand wound pickups…2016 is just a fantastic year, these Custom Shop models are very accurate models.

I never cared the weight of a guitar, especially not a massive Les Paul with one piece non chambered body, it’s kinda a pointless thing as if you want a lightweight LP guitar than buy a Standard but this one is probably the lightest R7 that we’ve ever had here and we’ve had so many in the last few years, so this is only 8.13 pound!

This beauty is in a very very looked after, very mint condition as you can see on the pictures, apart from one tiny little mark on the headstock we didn’t find anything mentionable. It’s not been played too much. It comes with it’s beautiful hard case (in mint condition) and Custom shop certificate.

List price back in 2016 was £3799 (as you can see it comes with its original price hang tag from PMT where it was purchased from). Get this for more than £1K less in almost new condition.
Just £2600. The price of these Custom Shop guitars will increase dramatically in the next few months and even more after Brexit…so if you want to buy a Goldtop then don’t hesitate too long and buy this beautiful example! You won’t be disappointed. SOLD
