However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
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.
Key Features
The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS is a slice of guitar history brought to life with painstaking detail. This Double Gold beauty captures the spirit of the late-50s original, from the one-piece mahogany back and hide-glued maple top to the chunky '50s neck profile that feels solid and reassuring in the hand. Finished in a lush nitrocellulose patina, it oozes vintage character straight out of the case, while the aged trapezoid inlays and Royalite binding seal the deal for period-correct authenticity. It's as close as you'll get to a 1957 original without the vintage price tag.
At the heart of the Goldtop Reissue are a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, faithfully recreating that warm, dynamic tone that defined a generation of rock and blues players. The lightweight aluminium stop bar tailpiece, no-wire ABR-1 bridge, and Kluson tuners keep things locked in, delivering rock-solid performance with a classic feel. Every detail, down to the butyrate gold top hat knobs and historically accurate plastics, has been dialled in for absolute authenticity. The 1957 Goldtop Reissue isn't just a guitar, it's an heirloom instrument that begs to be played and treasured.
Product Ref: 371682
This 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is crafted like the originals, with a one-piece lightweight mahogany back and a two-piece plain maple top joined with hide glue for maximum resonance and snap. A long-tenon mahogany neck meets an Indian rosewood board with aged trapezoid inlays, narrow/tall frets, and a nylon nut, delivering that unmistakable late-50s feel. No weight relief keeps the voice rich and authoritative, translating your touch into a lively, vocal midrange that sits perfectly in a mix
A matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups nails the articulate, open sound players chase on vintage records. Expect airy highs, a woody low end, and a responsive midrange that cleans up beautifully with the volume control. CTS 500K audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors keep the circuit musical throughout its sweep, so every roll-back retains clarity and bite. From glassy rhythm parts to singing leads, it dishes out authentic PAF character with effortless dynamic range
The no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stop bar transfer the strings' vibrations straight to the body, while Kluson single line, single ring tuners hold tuning with ease. Switchcraft switch and jack offer rock-solid performance night after night, and historically correct plastics and butyrate gold top hat knobs complete the look. Every piece of metalwork wears a tasteful nickel finish, balancing vintage spec with the stability working players need on stage and in the studio
The nitrocellulose VOS treatment in Double Gold delivers the timeless aesthetic of a well-kept original, with a gently played-in feel from day one. Thin nitro lets the wood breathe and age gracefully, enhancing resonance as the guitar settles in. Subtle patina across plastics and hardware ties the whole package together, so it looks beautiful at home or under stage lights. It’s an heirloom-grade instrument built to be gigged, recorded, and admired for decades
