Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is a faithful recreation of one of the most sought-after guitars in history. From its elegant gold finish to its solid mahogany construction, every detail stays true to the original model that helped shape rock and blues music. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging treatment takes the authenticity to another level, simulating decades of use with expertly applied wear and patina. This meticulous attention to detail gives the guitar the look and feel of a cherished vintage instrument, making it an instant classic both on stage and in the studio.
Gibson’s Murphy Lab is renowned for producing some of the most realistic aging treatments in the industry, and this ’57 Goldtop is no exception. The Ultra Heavy Aging process involves precision techniques that replicate decades of play wear, from lacquer checking to dings, scratches, and oxidised hardware. This level of craftsmanship ensures the guitar not only looks like a well-loved vintage model but also feels incredibly comfortable to play. The worn-in neck and reliced finish provide the broken-in sensation of a true golden-era instrument, making it a truly beautiful vintage spec'd guitar.
At the heart of the ’57 Goldtop Reissue’s tone are its unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, designed to capture the essence of original PAF humbuckers. These pickups deliver a rich, dynamic sound with incredible clarity and warmth, ideal for smooth jazz, soaring blues, and high-gain rock leads. The unpotted design allows for more natural harmonic overtones, while the carefully wound coils ensure authentic vintage response. From sparkling cleans to roaring overdrive, these pickups provide the expressive and articulate character that made late-’50s Gibsons legendary.
Gibson’s commitment to historical accuracy shines through in every aspect of this reissue, from the carefully selected tonewoods to the vintage-correct construction techniques. The one-piece mahogany body delivers incredible sustain, while the two-piece maple top adds brightness and definition. A long tenon neck joint, secured with hide glue, ensures rock-solid stability and enhanced resonance. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, fitted with aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, completes the period-correct aesthetic, making this guitar feel as authentic as an original late-’50s Les Paul.
The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile provides the perfect balance between comfort and substance, giving players a familiar, solid grip without being overly chunky. Paired with historic narrow/tall frets, this neck offers smooth bending and precise note articulation, making it ideal for expressive playing. Vintage-accurate hardware, including an ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminium stop bar, and Kluson Single Line tuners, ensures rock-solid tuning stability and classic sustain. Every component, from the butyrate gold top hat knobs to the catalin switch tip, has been carefully chosen to replicate the look and feel of an original '57 Goldtop, delivering a truly immersive vintage experience.
