Gibson 1957 Goldtop Darkback Les Paul Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar

1957 Goldtop Darkback Les Paul Vintage Original Spec Electric Guitar description:

The Gibson VOS 57 Les Paul Goldtop is an electric singlecut guitar which follows the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) that make these series of guitars Gibson's next step in their journey towards perfection.

Seth Lover’s fabled ‘Patent Applied For’ humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul Model in 1957. These dual coil pickups, quieter yet more powerful than the single coil P-90s that preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented sustain and tone. The Gibson VOS 57 Les Paul Goldtop is equipped with BurstBuckers to faithfully replicate the warm, vocal quality and rich harmonic content of the legendary originals.
