What great guitars keep coming out of Gibson's Murphy Lab! To prove this statement you only need to take a quick look at this fantastic '57 Goldtop in the “Ultra Heavy Aging” finish. The enormous amount of aging alone shows that this is an individual special order. It is phenomenal how the aging is not only reduced to countless hairline cracks, numerous distinctive flaws and characteristic abrasion marks, but also pours over the patinated surface as a complete work of art. With gold finishes in particular this results in an extremely interesting look that constantly changes depending on the respective perspective. The exceptionally aged hardware and the super authentic “Double Gold” color tone are a perfect match. But the feel and sound of this “Made to Measure” are also top notch! When playing, the super comfortable ideal weight of just 3790 grams, the comfortable Medium profile of the neck and the pleasantly “rocked” back of the neck are immediately noticeable. It is a real pleasure to whizz over the wonderfully dark rosewood fingerboard without any speed limit! And in terms of sound, there's not a dry eye in the house! The two Custombuckers together with the above-average vibration behavior of the guitar deliver the classic, smacking 57 PAF sound. Direct, differentiated with a fast response. Warm, full-bodied with an extra portion of bite, which you can really use with distorted sounds. Fortunately with this fantastic Les Paul you don't have to decide whether it's a work of art or a sound grenade with top playability. This dream instrument, which we can offer you in mint condition, serves both facets in the best possible way.
