EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson Custom Collection 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue (ECLPR7DGNH1) is a beautiful recreation of those vintage 1957 Les Paul Goldtop models. Made in partnership with Gibson Custom, the Epiphone 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue delivers vintage Les Paul looks and performance at an accessible price. All of the classic appointments the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop model is known and loved for are present here, including a one-piece mahogany neck with a long neck tenon for increased stability and sustain, a Rounded profile, and a bound rosewood fretboard. It also features mother-of-pearl trapezoid fretboard inlays, an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone headstock logo, and the words “Les Paul Model” silkscreened in gold on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. The genuine mahogany body features a carved maple cap that is topped with a maple veneer.
The electronics are equally impressive, with two USA Gibson Custombucker humbucking pickups with Alnico 3 magnets that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector toggle switch and output jack. The Vintage Gloss finish gives the guitar a vintage appearance without looking overly aged and is nicely complimented by the nickel hardware, including the Epiphone Deluxe “Double Ring” Keystone button tuners.
A Brown hardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom graphics and a pink plush-lined interior is also included.
