1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard, Serial Number 7 3949
Few guitars command the reverence of a 1957 Gibson Les Paul™ Goldtop. Representing the final evolution of the Goldtop before transitioning to sunburst finishes in 1958, the ’57 introduced the legendary Patent Applied For humbuckers and cemented the Les Paul’s role in shaping modern electric guitar tone. With its striking finish, solid mahogany/maple construction, and unrivaled sonic clarity, the ’57 Goldtop remains one of the most iconic and sought-after electric guitars ever built.
This Gibson Certified Vintage 1957 Les Paul Goldtop comes to us from the family of the guitar’s longtime owners and represents everything you could want from this legendary instrument. According to family lore, the grandfather purchased it decades ago from someone trying to raise money for a bus ticket to Miami. Despite spending much of its life in Florida, it remains remarkably clean and well preserved.
Stamped “2” on the back of the headstock, this guitar left the factory as a designated second, yet there’s no obvious blemish or flaw to explain why. It is all original except for a vintage replacement Catalin switch tip and a Gibson Custom ABR-1 bridge (the original is included in the case).
An early example of the model, this Goldtop features brushed nickel covers on a set of “pre-sticker” Patent Applied For pickups—so named because they predate the use of the now-famous Patent Applied For decal. The neck is substantial but not intimidating, and easy to get your hand around, with original frets in great shape that play cleanly. Light checking and mild playwear add just the right amount of character, and there’s no significant greening of the gold finish.
Truly one of the great examples of this iconic model, this '57 Goldtop comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty. The original chipboard case is no longer present, but an era-correct, 4-latch Lifton® brown and pink Les Paul case accompanies the guitar.
