Developed in partnership with the Gibson Custom Shop as part of the Inspired by Gibson Custom series, this Goldtop nails the look, tone, and feel of the first humbucker-equipped Les Pauls — and does it at a fraction of the price of a vintage original.
The solid mahogany body with a plain maple top delivers classic tone and resonance, while the Vintage Gloss Gold finish adds just the right amount of vintage mojo. The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile is substantial but comfortable, true to the originals, with a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain and stability. It’s topped with a bound rosewood fretboard and vintage-spec mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays.
Tone comes courtesy of two Gibson USA Custombuckers — unpotted Alnico 3 pickups that deliver that unmistakable warm, articulate ‘50s humbucker sound. They’re wired up with CTS pots, Bumblebee capacitors, and Switchcraft components, just like the originals.
Finished off with nickel hardware, a vintage-correct ABR-1 bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and “open book” headstock, this Les Paul is all class. Comes with Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom brown hardshell case with plush pink interior.
