It was the first full year that it had Patent Applied For humbucker™ pickups installed. The humbuckers, along with the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece that first appeared on a Les Paul with the introduction of the Les Paul Custom in late 1953 and on the Goldtop in late 1955, were defining features that many players still prefer over the earlier models that had a wraparound bridge\/tailpiece and P-90 pickups and made the Les Paul into a true fire-breathing rock icon. Now, Epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, is very proud to introduce the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue, a stunningly authentic Inspired by Gibson Custom reissue of those early humbucker-equipped Les Paul Goldtops that delivers vintage Les Paul looks and performance at an accessible price. It has a genuine mahogany body with a carved, plain maple cap. It is finished in a new Vintage Gloss version of the classic Gold color that gives it a vintage appearance without looking overly aged. The one-piece genuine mahogany neck has a 50s Rounded Medium C profile and a long neck tenon for excellent stability and sustain. The bound rosewood fretboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays and equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets, just like the original models from 1957. It has an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and the words “Les Paul Model” silkscreened in gold on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage 1957 Les Paul Standard models and are placed in historically accurate locations. The hardware is nickel-plated, including the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, historical aluminum Stop Bar Tailpiece, and the Epiphone Deluxe “Single Ring” Keystone button tuners. The electronics are also first-class, with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3 magnets that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack. A historic-inspired hardshell case with a Brown exterior and pink plush interior and Inspired by Gibson Custom Graphics is also included. The 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue isn’t just a guitar; it’s a bridge to a symphony of possibilities, willing and ready to help you make your own mark on music history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eBody\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solidbody\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Les Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNeck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50s Rounded Medium C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e .920\" at the 1st fret, 1.050\" at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock: \u003c\/strong\u003eGibson Open Book; Historical Headstock Wing Blocks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother-of-Pearl Trapezoids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius: \u003c\/strong\u003e12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22, Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.69\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e GraphTech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFretboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHardware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\/Tailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tune-O-Matic Bridge, Stop Bar Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Epiphone Deluxe Vintage Tuners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eElectronics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Custombucker Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eGibson Custombucker Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2 Volume, 2 Tone; CTS Potentiometers, Bumblebee Paper in Oil Capacitors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\/Gigbag:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardshell with Brown Exterior, Pink Interior, and Inspired by Gibson Custom Graphics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49661305389304,"sku":null,"price":1299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/6032\/0934\/files\/Epiphone1957LesPaulStandardDoubleGold25011520622-2_8b50edc3-7f62-4a22-9cb9-9c37b63b4623.jpg?v=1782420417","url":"https:\/\/briansguitars.com\/products\/epiphone-1957-les-paul-standard-double-gold-copy","provider":"Brian's Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
