Full Description
View Full DescriptionAuthentic 1957 Les Paul tone and feel
The Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue delivers the unmistakable tone and playing experience of one of the most iconic electric guitars in history. Developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model pays tribute to the first full year that the legendary Patent Applied For humbuckers appeared on the Les Paul. With a pair of Gibson USA Custombucker pickups loaded with Alnico 3 magnets, you get rich midrange punch, smooth highs, and a dynamic low-end response that defined an entire era of music. These pickups are hand-wired to premium CTS potentiometers and Luxe Bumblebee capacitors for a signal path that’s historically accurate and sonically exceptional. It’s a guitar that doesn’t just look vintage – it sounds and responds like the real thing.
Premium construction and vintage-correct materials
Crafted with a genuine mahogany body and a carved, plain maple cap, the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue embodies the construction techniques that made the originals so revered. The solid mahogany adds warmth and depth, while the maple top enhances clarity and snap – an essential part of that classic Les Paul sustain and harmonic richness. The one-piece mahogany neck features a long neck tenon for extra resonance and durability, and it's carved to a ’50s Rounded Medium C profile for a comfortable, substantial grip that reflects vintage craftsmanship. Even small details like the cream body and neck binding, along with historically accurate dot marker positioning, ensure this model captures the vintage vibe down to the finest elements.
Custom aesthetics with inspired vintage appointments
This reissue isn't just about sound – it makes a strong visual statement too. The Double Gold Vintage Gloss finish offers a refined, gently aged appearance that’s classy without appearing overly relic’d. The bound rosewood fretboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays, while the iconic “open book” headstock showcases an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and gold Les Paul Model script. Nickel hardware adds a touch of era-appropriate sheen, including the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and the lightweight Gibson Historic aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece. Every aspect of this guitar’s design honours the original 1957 aesthetic, offering a look that stands out both on stage and as part of a collection.
Complete vintage experience with premium accessories
The Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue comes complete with a historically inspired hardshell case, adding a premium final touch to the experience. With its brown exterior and plush pink interior, the case mirrors the visual identity of classic Gibson cases from the golden era. It’s not just practical protection – it reinforces the historical character of the instrument. This model bridges the gap between collector-grade accuracy and real-world performance, making it ideal for those seeking vintage tone, aesthetic authenticity, and reliable playability in a more accessible package.
