Get in your time machine, set it to 1957, and go Les Paul shopping. You’d end up with a guitar very much like this 1957 Reissue VOS Les Paul Gold Top. The VOS indicates that the finish and hardware have been aged as befits a vintage instrument from this period.
This guitar is equipped with a pair of Custom Shop humbuckers that sound great, of course. Kluson-style tuners. 1 11/16 inch nut width. 50s profile neck that has a comfortable heft. Nickel-plated ABR-1 bridge.
Condition is excellent overall and the VOS aging really dials in the patina of a vintage gold top. There are two small circular finish dimples on the butt of the guitar that we suspect came from leaving it on a reactive guitar stand for awhile. Given their location, they are hardly noticeable and do not detract from the overall excellent appearance of the guitar.
COA and hangs tags are included, as is the original brown hardshell case. A great package from our buddies at the Gibson Custom Shop. This R7 is a great guitar at a very reasonable price point.
