Part of the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection, it represents the adventurous spirit that has defined countless Made to Measure custom orders and celebrates the skill and imagination of the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee. This reissue channels the unmistakable charisma of a late 50s Les Paul, then elevates it with a dazzling Gold Sparkle finish and a unique electronic configuration that gives it a sonic identity all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe solidbody construction begins with a mahogany back and a carved maple top, joined with the same precision and using the same materials as those used on prized originals from the late 50s. Its VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish brings a softly aged character that enhances the Gold Sparkle top’s depth and dimension, while the single ply top binding completes the classic Les Paul silhouette. There’s no weight relief—just the full, expressive resonance of traditional tonewoods working in harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck’s 1950s Chunky D profile delivers the substantial feel players associate with some of the best examples from 1957, with a long neck tenon that reinforces sustain and stability. A rosewood fretboard with narrow\/tall frets, cellulose trapezoid inlays, single ply binding, and a 12 inch radius offers an inviting, vintage correct playing experience. The 24.75-inch scale length, nylon nut, and Kluson® Deluxe tuning machines round out a period-authentic feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat truly sets this Limited Edition model apart is its use of TV Jones® Power’Tron pickups. While a 1957 Les Paul Reissue is typically voiced with Custombucker humbuckers designed to replicate Patent Applied For pickups, the Power’Tron delivers a distinctive sound of its own. Its tonal character carries some of the familiar DNA of a Patent Applied For humbucking pickup, infused with elements found in a TV Jones Filter’Tron, but with more windings, higher output, and a darker overall response than a Filter’Tron. The result is a compelling hybrid voice—full, articulate, dynamic, and well-suited to the Les Paul’s rich acoustic foundation. Two volume and two tone controls, along with a three-way toggle, provide familiar, intuitive control of this unique sonic palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNickel hardware, an ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, cream plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and nickel pickup covers contribute to a classic late 50s aesthetic. Each instrument includes a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Limited Edition model captures the soul of a 1957 Les Paul while offering a fresh, powerful voice—proving that tradition and innovation can shine brilliantly together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45336426315955,"sku":"LPR5726LE23264","price":6599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3966\/9171\/files\/LPR5726LE23264_1_Body.png?v=1775075374","url":"https:\/\/www.gibson.com\/it\/products\/gibson-custom-le-1957-les-paul-reissue-with-tv-jones-powertron-vos-gold-sparkle-top","provider":"Gibson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
