OFFERED FOR SALE:

Gibson Historic Division 2003 1957 Les Paul Standard, Gold Top, Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboard

Condition: New

I purchased this beautiful, limited edition instrument new in 2003 and it has never left my bedroom! Maybe an hour of careful use as I collect, never gig with them.

As interested parties know, very few were made with Brazilian Rosewood Fingerboards and these are highly sought after. Resource shortages and environmental issues ensure that Gibson will never be able to offer Brazilian Rosewood again.

The finishes on Gibson Historics have always been most accurate and authentic on the Gold Tops. No phony aging, tampering, fading. The Bronze Gold is incredibly close to original 1956 and 1957 Standards I've owned. The Mahogany Neck here is especially figured with beautiful spiral graduations.

In  2003 Gibson Historic updated the Les Paul Standard with terrific sounding Burstbuckers (which emulate closely the sound of my original 1959 LP Custom -- sorry, not for sale!), CTS pots and Bumble Bee capacitors and a host of hardware and trim updates to bring the reissues even closer to originals.

This instrument is fully original. Played usually through my 4203 Marshall Artist, it heavily overloads the Clean channel at five to deliver a thick, classic Bluesbreakers tone, no added gain necessary. Acoustically, the Brazilian board produces a loud, full, very impressive sound.

Any apparent marks on the pictures below are dust or hair from my dog. The finish is dead perfect, identical to new.

All paperwork and Gibson accessories are included.
