The
Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar brings the classic combination of dual P90 pickups, Tune-o-Matic bridge and Gold Top finish that was used in ’56. The Gibson Custom Shop has intensively studied vintage ’56 Les Pauls, diagrams and period-correct build methods and materials to absolutely nail the look, fell and tone of this classic year of the Les Paul. No doubt, this is the best ’56 reissue built to date.
