Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop 2013 VOS AG

Embodies raw blues rock and roll more than any other guitar on the planet.



The sunburst Les Paul Standards of 1958-1960 may
grab most of the attention, but for plenty of no-nonsense players out
there, the 1954 Les Paul Model “Goldtop” with two soapbar-style P-90
pickups and wraparound tailpiece embodies raw blues rock-and-roll more
than any other guitar on the planet. From Carl Perkins’ recordings of
“Honey Don’t” and “Blue Suede Shoes” to Freddie King’s “Hideaway”, a
Goldtop was there—rippin’ it up and making musical history in the
process.

The Gibson Custom Shop’s 1954 Les Paul Goldtop VOS is
the veritable second coming of this revered yet short-lived variant of
the venerable Les Paul, presenting all the period-correct finepoints
that aficionados of the breed know and love. With its hot, gritty P-90
single-coil pickups, deep-set, long-tenon neck joint; lightweight
wraparound “stud” bridge; rounded ’50s profile D neck; and gently aged
nitrocellulose “gold” top, which is actually a metallic bronze powder
suspended in lacquer, this baby is the real deal, raw and ready to rock.

While
the Les Paul Model might have “evolved” from this point, fans of the
’54 know that it never sounded quite the same again, either. The direct
feel and solid, resonant tone of that wraparound stud bridge can’t be
matched by any other configuration, and the P-90 pickups are a world
unto themselves, too—with the meat power of later humbuckers and the
clarity and bite of single coils, P-90s have proven enormously popular
for more than 60 years.

When Les Paul and Gibson sat down at the
drawing board to devise the first solidbody electric from a leading
guitar manufacturer, the artist who was giving his name to the project
insisted that this radical new instrument needed to be finished in gold,
a color that would claim the Les Paul Model’s place in the world.
Marrying a solid, lightweight mahogany back to a carved maple top was
the first stroke of genius, and established the most legendary tonewood
combination in the history of electric guitar manufacturing.

To
complete the design, Gibson added the features that players of this
radical new amplified music were demanding, while rendering the entire
package with the historic company’s traditional arched top, bound body
and neck, glued-in neck joint, and supreme tone and playability—in
short, making the Les Paul a high-quality instrument for a new breed of
player. With the addition of the wraparound bridge in late ’53/early
’54, the Les Paul had arrived, and it has never looked back.

With
its historically correct features, quality tonewoods, and proprietary
VOS (Vintage Original Spec) hardware and finish aging process, the
Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Goldtop is as close as a player or collector
can get to landing the real thing. Gibson’s alnico-magnet P-90 pickups
are the closest reproductions to original ’50s P-90s that the company
has ever produced, and quality CTS volume and tone pots and “bumblebee”
tone capacitors take it all the tone from pickup to Switchcraft output
jack in glorious style.

To top it off, a final set up and fret
dressing from Gibson’s phenomenal PLEK system makes it as sweetly
playable as a guitar can possibly be. Each 1954 Les Paul Goldtop VOS
comes protected in a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case and includes a
Certificate of Authenticity and full owner’s manual and instructions.
