Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
There's just nothing quite like a Goldtop is there? The Custom Shop's excellence in build quality, attention to detail, and fit and finish work leaves absolutely nothing to be desired here. This instrument is lively, responsive, perfectly set up and comfortable to play. No doubt there are many many hours of playing to enjoy locked inside yet another gorgeous Goldtop!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Gibson Guitars
From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals.
