LES PAUL GOLDTOP VOS

ELECTRIC GUITAR

IN

ANTIQUE GOLD

The Music Store I work at is having a sale on some fantastic guitars and this is new Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar in Antique Gold. It comes with the Gibson Custom Shop Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Gibson Gold Warranty Card.

It has only been played by a select few when requested, and was always handled very carefully (under our watchful eye, of course!). 

This  guitar and all Gibson Custom Shop Models have been played and handled multiple times at the Gibson Factory by the World Class Craftsmen that hand make this exquisite guitar. Condition wise, it's in new shape and plays like a dream!

Custom Shop VOS Guitars
Gibson has been producing solid body electric guitars for 55 years. Of course, the most famous of these guitars is the legendary Les Paul. In 2006 the Gibson Custom Shop released its Vintage Original Spec (VOS) series in honor of the instruments that have literally shaped the face of music today.

The Goldtop VOS (Vintage Original Spec) guitar is a reproduction of the original 1957 Les Paul Goldtop. It has many of the construction attributes of an original late 50's Les Paul, which give it that true vintage tone. The neck is an original type one-piece construction with long neck tenon, with the profile derived from a real 50's Les Paul neck. The fingerboard is a nice dark rosewood with traditional trapezoid inlays.

This Les Paul Goldtop features Gibson's VOS finish, which gives it the beautiful appearence of a real original vintage guitar. It accurately replicates the look and feel of a nicely aged guitar. Other great touches include an original style ABR-1 tuneomatic bridge and original type single-bump Kluson style tuners. These guitars are a true showpiece and investment grade Les Paul. It is a great playing and sounding guitar that will definitely increase in value over time.
