Gibson / Les Paul Standard / 1957 / Goldtop / Guitar For Sale
Gibson Les Paul Standard (1957) – Goldtop
Offered is a 1957 Les Paul Standard from Gibson, fitted with original “Patent Applied For” pickups.
Produced for a relatively short period, the 1957 Goldtop with PAF pickups is among the more limited Les Paul Standards from Gibson’s late-1950s output and remains highly sought after.
This example features a Goldtop finish with natural aging, including weather checking and characteristic greening. The back shows buckle wear consistent with extended use, while the instrument remains in overall very good vintage condition.
A notable detail is the dark back combined with black plastic parts, giving the guitar a distinctive appearance within this model range.
The original PAF pickups remain in place, along with the majority of original components. The Kluson tuners are fitted with replacement DMC buttons. Potentiometer codes are 134718 and 134713.
The instrument is described as delivering a strong and responsive tone, consistent with PAF-equipped Les Paul Standards from this period.
Supplied with its original brown hardshell case. A set of DMC cream parts is also included.
A well-preserved and increasingly scarce 1957 Les Paul Standard, combining originality, characteristic wear, and strong player appeal.
