Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Double Gold
The Gibson 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue in Double Gold celebrates a pivotal year in Les Paul history, pairing vintage elegance with timeless tone. 1956 was the only full year the Les Paul featured the dynamic combination of P-90 pickups and the newly introduced ABR-1 adjustable bridge. This setup provided unparalleled sustain, intonation, and tonal versatility, setting the stage for generations of legendary performances.
Painstakingly crafted by Gibson Custom Shop, this reissue is a faithful homage to the original, boasting a solid mahogany body, carved maple top, and a rich Double Gold finish that exudes vintage allure. Its P-90 pickups deliver a signature blend of warmth and bite, while period-accurate features like narrow/tall frets, hide glue construction, and meticulously replicated hardware ensure authenticity in every detail. Whether you're a player or a collector, this ’56 Goldtop Reissue is a glowing example of Gibson's golden era.
