An Inspired by Gibson Custom reissue of the classic P-90 equipped ’56 Goldtop
1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul™ model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup and Stop Bar tailpiece that first appeared on a Les Paul with the introduction of the Les Paul Custom in late 1953 and on the Goldtop in late 1955 instead of the earlier wraparound bridge. This combination allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. The combination of the ABR-1 bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and P-90 pickups found on the 1956 Les Paul model remains a favorite among many players, who prefer the P-90 sound over the later models with Patent Applied For humbucking pickups.
Now, Epiphone, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, is very proud to introduce the 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue, a stunningly authentic Inspired by Gibson Custom reissue of those P-90 equipped Les Paul Goldtops that delivers vintage Les Paul looks and performance at an accessible price. It has a genuine mahogany body with a carved, plain maple cap. It is finished in a new Vintage Gloss version of the classic Gold color that gives it a vintage appearance without looking overly aged. The one-piece genuine mahogany neck has a 50s Rounded Medium C profile and a long neck tenon for excellent stability and sustain. The bound rosewood fretboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays and equipped with 22 Historic narrow/tall frets, just like the original models from 1956. It has an aged mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo and the words “Les Paul Model” silkscreened in gold on the Gibson-style “open book” headstock. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage 1956 Les Paul Standard models and are placed in historically accurate locations. The hardware is nickel-plated, including the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, historical aluminum Stop Bar Tailpiece, and the Epiphone Deluxe “single ring” Keystone button tuners. The electronics are also first-class, with two Gibson Custom USA-made P-90 pickups that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Bumblebee paper-in-oil capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector toggle switch and 1/4” output jack. A historic-inspired hardshell case with a brown exterior, Inspired by Gibson Custom external graphics, and a pink plush interior is also included. The 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue isn’t just a guitar; it’s a bridge to a symphony of possibilities, willing and ready to help you make your own mark on music history.
