Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS

For 2018, the Gibson Custom Shop has decided to include all the historically most emblematic models of the renowned Nashville brand in the Historic Collection 2018 series. Specifically, the Historic Collection 2018 borrows many of the most important technical and construction details from the highly regarded and sought-after True Historic series, thereby creating instruments that, while still priced significantly, offer quality levels never before achieved in this price range.

In detail, the instruments are entirely constructed using animal glues, feature ultra-thin nitrocellulose finishes for maximum resonance, have truss rods without rubber sheathing, one-piece fingerboards, and True Historic plastic components.

Additionally, for 2018, the instruments have been enhanced with specific technical details for each model year, such as a revised neck profile for the '59 Les Paul, the use of smaller frets on all pre-1959 models, and Historic Brown/Pink Lacquered cases for all Les Paul models.
