Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Gold Top

The Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Gold Top brings the character of an R7 within reach

The Gold Top finish on a mahogany body with a maple cap makes it immediately clear where this 1957 Les Paul draws its inspiration from. Epiphone built this guitar for the Inspired by Gibson Custom line with an eye for the classic R7 recipe. The Gibson Custombucker humbuckers are no mere detail: they are what give this Gold Top its full, recognizable Les Paul character.

The Custombuckers respond vividly to your touch. Play softly for an open, warm tone or give the strings more energy for a solid, singing sound. With the three positions of the pickup switch, you can toggle between the rounded neck position, the bright bridge position, and the combination of both. The sturdy Vintage '50s C-neck feels familiar to anyone who likes a bit of wood in their hand, while the rosewood fretboard plays smoothly.

Beneath the Gold Top finish are a mahogany body with a maple cap and a mahogany neck with a Vintage '50s C-profile. The rosewood fretboard features Trapezoid inlays, 22 frets, and a 24.75-inch scale length. The guitar is equipped with Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, two volume controls, two tone controls, a three-way switch, and Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons. A hardcase is included.
