Reissued and Gunning for Glory: the 1957 Goldtop Returns

As Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson Custom range expands, so does your chance to score a seismic slice of 6-string history, with the revamped 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue — one of the most-coveted iterations of the iconic Goldtop lineage, both in terms of Gibson’s Custom Shop and instruments from the era. Thanks to advances in laser-scanning replication technologies, Epiphone has produced the most historically accurate reproduction of the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop, at a fraction of the cost of a Gibson Custom equivalent. This Epiphone reissue distinguishes itself from previous iterations, now including a premium rosewood fretboard, period-accurate smaller frets, and a galvanizing pair of USA Custombucker pickups, which Music Bliss Malaysia sound scholars agree masterfully capture the lauded PAF style of the original axe. With such exacting attention to detail, Epiphone’s history-honoring Inspired by Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue elevates your sonic prowess to ferocious dimensions of time-tested tone and style.
