From Custom Shop and Murphy Lab perfection to the finest guitars to start your musical journey with, let us show you the absolute best guitars from Nashville and Bozeman and beyond!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Gibson:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1957 Les Paul™ Reissue with TV Jones Power’Tron, VOS, Gold Sparkle Top brings a bold new voice to one of Gibson’s most beloved classics. Part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, it represents the adventurous spirit that has defined countless Made to Measure custom orders and celebrates the skill and imagination of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. This reissue channels the unmistakable charisma of a late 50s Les Paul, then elevates it with a dazzling Gold Sparkle finish and a unique electronic configuration that gives it a sonic identity all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solidbody construction begins with a mahogany back and a carved maple top, joined with the same precision and using the same materials as those used on prized originals from the late 50s. Its VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish brings a softly aged character that enhances the Gold Sparkle top’s depth and dimension, while the single ply top binding completes the classic Les Paul silhouette. There’s no weight relief—just the full, expressive resonance of traditional tonewoods working in harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck’s 1950s Chunky D profile delivers the substantial feel players associate with some of the best examples from 1957, with a long neck tenon that reinforces sustain and stability. A rosewood fretboard with narrow\/tall frets, cellulose trapezoid inlays, single ply binding, and a 12 inch radius offers an inviting, vintage correct playing experience. The 24.75-inch scale length, nylon nut, and Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines round out a period-authentic feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat truly sets this Limited Edition model apart is its use of TV Jones® Power’Tron pickups. While a 1957 Les Paul Reissue is typically voiced with Custombucker humbuckers designed to replicate Patent Applied For pickups, the Power’Tron delivers a distinctive sound of its own. Its tonal character carries some of the\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efamiliar DNA of a Patent Applied For humbucking pickup, infused with elements found in a TV Jones Filter’Tron, but with more windings, higher output, and a darker overall response than a Filter’Tron. The result is a compelling hybrid voice—full, articulate, dynamic, and well-suited to the Les Paul’s rich acoustic foundation. Two volume and two tone controls, along with a three-way toggle, provide familiar, intuitive control of this unique sonic palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNickel hardware, an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, cream plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and nickel pickup covers contribute to a classic late 50s aesthetic. Each instrument includes a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity. This Limited Edition model captures the soul of a 1957 Les Paul while offering a fresh, powerful voice—proving that tradition and innovation can shine brilliantly together\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeries:    Gibson Custom Shop Historic\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Manufacture:    Made in the USA\u003cbr\u003eSerial Number:    76695\u003cbr\u003eProduct Color:    Gold Sparkle\u003cbr\u003eRelic\/Aging Level:    VOS (Vintage Original Spec)\u003cbr\u003eCase Type:    Hardshell Case Included\u003cbr\u003eFactory Setup:    E Standard (E-A-D-G-B-E)Body\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape:    Les Paul\u003cbr\u003eBody Material:    Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish:    VOS Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eTop Material:    Maple\u003cbr\u003eBody Binding:    Single-Ply TopNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material:    Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNeck Finish:    VOS Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eNeck Shape:    Chunky 1950s Chunky D\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material:    Rosewood\u003cbr\u003eNut Material:    Nylon\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius:    12\" (304.8mm)\u003cbr\u003eScale Length:    24.75\" (628.7mm)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Frets:    22 Frets\u003cbr\u003eNeck Joint:    Set Neck\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Inlay:    Trapezoid\u003cbr\u003eInlay Shape:    Trapezoids\u003cbr\u003eNeck Binding:    Single-PlyElectronics\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup:    TV Jones Power'Tron\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup:    TV Jones Power'Tron\u003cbr\u003eControls and Switching:    2 Volume, 2 Tone, 3-Way ToggleHardware\u003cbr\u003eHardware Color:    Nickel\u003cbr\u003eBridge:    ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece:    Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines:    Kluson Deluxe\u003cbr\u003eSaddle:    Metal\u003cbr\u003ePickguard:    Single-Ply Cream\u003cbr\u003eKnobs:    Gold Top Hats\u003cbr\u003eSwitch Cap:    Amber\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49119823495385,"sku":null,"price":6599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/5669\/8329\/files\/MM-594.jpg?v=1788276195","url":"https:\/\/malibumusic.com\/products\/gibson-57-les-paul-standard-gold-sparkle-vos-nh","provider":"Malibu Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
