ARTICLE N° 76194
The Gibson 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Ultra Light Aged Double Gold captures the spirit of an era when the Les Paul model reached new heights. With its iconic gold glow, P-90 pickups and adjustable ABR-1 bridge, this faithful reissue pays tribute to a pivotal year in music and guitar-making history.

The classic Les Paul body, crafted from a lightweight one-piece mahogany back and two-piece solid maple top, delivers exceptional resonance and tonal warmth. It’s all assembled with hide glue, a traditional method that improves vibration transmission.

The Double Gold finish, expertly applied and ultra-lightly aged by Murphy Lab artisans, gives this guitar a patina that evokes decades of history. Single-ply Royalite binding adds a touch of vintage elegance.

The solid mahogany neck, with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, feels full and comfortable in the hand. Its Indian rosewood fingerboard, with a 12-inch radius, features narrow-tall frets, characteristic of models of the era, which amplify the natural resonance of the wood. The aged trapezoid inlays add a timeless aesthetic.

Sonically, this Les Paul is equipped with custom Soapbar P-90 pickups, which deliver a powerful and articulate tone. Their crisp attack and exceptional dynamics allow you to go from aggressive growl to warm and clear tones with great fluidity. Paired with CTS 500K potentiometers and Paper-in-Oil capacitors, these pickups deliver a rich and versatile tonal palette.

Hardware, including a nickel-plated brass ABR-1 wireless bridge and a lightweight aluminum tailpiece, guarantees precise intonation and long sustain. Kluson single-line tuners provide impeccable tuning stability. Details like gold Top Hats and a butyrate pickguard reinforce its historical authenticity.

Complete with a Lifton reissue case and a certificate of authenticity, the Gibson 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Ultra Light Aged Double Gold is more than just an instrument: it’s a journey through time, offering players the opportunity to play a piece of musical history.
