Gibson Les Paul 57 60th Anniversary Goldtop Heavy Aged (2017)

Just in time for the 60th anniversary of the 57 Goldtop, Gibson built a strictly limited edition of 60 Anniversary replicas of this icon in a heavy-aged version in 2017. These have of course long since sold out and are extremely rare on the second-hand market. We are therefore all the more delighted to be able to offer one of these exclusive Paulas today. The incredibly authentic aging is immediately noticeable here, the Gibson Custom Shop has definitely done a great job: countless hairline cracks as well as various quirks and play marks in exactly the right places. The gold tone couldn't have been better. You actually think you're looking at a real old one, especially because of the wonderfully patinated lacquer surface. On top of that, there's the “Limited” gold plaque and the silver-colored truss rod cover. The neck is a dream! Slightly slimmer than the typical fat '57 profile and therefore fits perfectly in the hand. Roughly like a Medium 59 neck. Especially in combination with the ideal weight of only 3840 grams, it plays simply outstanding. Pure Goldtop sound! A little rockier than a 58 or 59 with a great attack and a great tone! Anyone looking for a Goldtop without compromise in the attractive heavy-aged version will be delighted with this gem, which will be delivered to its future owner in top condition. What's more, there are only 60 of them, which of course ensures the very best value retention.
