2010 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul 1957 Historic Reissue R7 VOS (SOLD)
SOLD
This is what I call GIBSON LES PAUL. Everything is heavy, fat and one piece on it 🙂 ONE PIECE mahogany body (Standard and Traditional models have 2 pieces centre joined mahogany body…lot of glue for the centre join), one piece AMAZING rosewood fretboard (it looks 10x better than my 2014 LP Standard Plus), one piece nice and chunky mahogany neck, bumble bee capacitors, Burstbucker pickups. It is all traditional and has an incredible feel and sound!
The result of these is the warmest, greasiest, fattest LP sound I’ve ever heard!
This beauty has been owned by a collector since new and it’s in near mint condition. If you after a classic American guitar it’s hard to beat a Gibson Goldtop. Especially if it’s made by the guys at the Gibson Custom Shop… they know how to build a really good guitar!
Specs of the ’57 R7 include: carved maple top over a solid (non-weight relieved) mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck with early ’50s rounded profile, long neck tenon, Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups, low-wide vintage frets, nickel hardware, ABR-1 nickel bridge, 24-3/4″ scale, and 1-11/16″ nut width. With the Plek’d neck, setup is impeccable. Like most Historic Reissues, this one has the VOS treatment. Not quite a relic, Gibson’s VOS process produces the slightly dull patina of a vintage guitar with a thin nitrocellulose finish and the nickel hardware is also dulled as you would expect on an original example. Includes all the case candy that Gibson now includes. The Custom Shop sticker is easily removable from the scratch plate.
The only significant mark is about a 1mm chip on the top (check the pictures). No buckle rush or any other dents, it’s nice and clean everywhere. I look after my gear as much as possible but you can’t avoid some minimal marks if you play on a guitar…
The guitar comes with its original black Gibson Custom Shop case and of course it’s Certificate of Authenticity and some hang tags. Have a look at the pictures.
Goldtop LPs look fantastic on stage and posters. It has a serious presence.
These Custom Shop built LPs hold their value the most, so it is a great investment too!
With a new one selling for £3300 (at Andertons), why not save £1200 on this great example, £2100. SOLD
