In 1956, the Gibson Goldtop met the Tune-O-Matic bridge. This replica pays homage to the '56 Les Paul with snappy P-90 pickups and a thick, comfortable neck.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Original P-90 design pickups Wound to the same specs & material as the original
Period-accurate appointments Fingerboard & body binding matches original colors
Hot Hide glue construction Better joining contact for improved resonance
TonePros Kluson tuners 18:1 gear ratio for extremely precise tuning

The Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop VOS electric guitar brings the classic combination of dual P90 pickups, Tune-o-Matic bridge and Gold Top finish that was used in '56. The Gibson Custom Shop has intensively studied vintage '56 Les Pauls, diagrams and period-correct build methods and materials to absolutely nail the look, feel and tone of this classic year of the Les Paul. No doubt, this is the best '56 reissue built to date.

Features:

- An updated Gold Top finish that replicates the texture and look of the vintage instruments
- Dual P90 pickups wound to the same specs and using the same material as the originals
- Accurate volor fingerboard and body binding with a darker cream color to match the original 50's Gibson's
- Re-engineered truss rod, truss rod washer and anchor to their original form
- Hide glue neck fit which is very labor intensive but many say yields a different, vintage-accurate tone
- Kluson Deluxe green tuning keys are as near a replica of the original Kluson tuners as is available
- Aniline Dye results in superior wood grain presentation and depth of color

You can't definitely go wrong with a Gibson R6 but my kudos mostly goes to Zzounds for (1) excellent lowest price guarantee (2) fast shipping and order processing (3) secure and safe packaging (4) quality of service consistency - I've been shopping with Zzounds since 2008 and everything that I mentioned above has been consistent.
