(Vintage Original Spec) that make these series of guitars Gibson's next step in their journey towards perfection. Seth Lover???s fabled ???Patent Applied For??? humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul Model in 1957. These dual coil pickups, quieter yet more powerful than the single coil P-90s that preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented sustain and tone. The Gibson VOS 57 Les Paul Goldtop is equipped with BurstBuckers to faithfully replicate the warm, vocal quality and rich harmonic content of the legendary originals. The main features of the Gibson VOS 57 Les Paul Goldtop include: Carved maple top Solid, non-weight relieved mahogany back Thin toggleswitch washer & jackplate ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum 1-piece Mahogany neck with long tenon 22-fret rosewood fingerboard Holly headstock veneer Early '50s rounded neck profile Acrylic trapezoid inlays (accurate shape and color) Nickel hardware Burstbucker 1(R) and 2(T) pickups Bumblebee caps CTS pots Green tulip tuners 24-3/4" scale 1-11/16" nut width Antique Gold finish 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way selector switch Vintage Reissue 010 strings Gibson hardcase included

Although ive never owned this guitar one of my friends has and it is one of the nicest pieces of equipment you could ever wish to play. Couple this with a Marshall amp and cab and there is no better way to play guitar and no rival for the sound that can be produced by even the most incompetent of guitarists like myself!The humbucker pickups are of the best quality and with the three way selection switch which all Les Pauls now come with as standard, it is possible to make a huge range of sounds without even having to resort to and FX box. I hope you have found this review useful and make sure you give this instrument the time it deserves!
