This Les Paul was made to be a collector's item

Gibson Custom has gone all out for the 50th Anniversary Marshall Les Paul Goldtop. This 1957 Gold Top is a historically accurate reissue Gold Top that has been hand-aged by Tom Murphy. The quarter-sawn mahogany neck with long neck tenon and the original chunky '50s rounded neck profile are setup for optimum playing action and feel. A one-piece mahogany body and maple top conjure the classic Les Paul tone you expect from a Gibson. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors, every part of its internal signal path is designed to give you absolutely dead-on '57 Les Paul tone. Instead, the '57 Les Paul sports a pair of Gibson's Burstbucker Alnico II humbuckers with historically unmatched bobbin windings. Custom 50th Anniversary appointments include a 12th fret Marshall logo, a commemorative pickguard with a "Marshall 50th" badge, and a Jim Marshall signature truss rod cover. The Gibson Custom 50th Anniversary Marshall Les Paul Goldtop is a true collector's piece.

Hand-wired combo with iconic Marshall tone

The hand-wired Limited Edition 50th Anniversary 1962 Bluesbreaker tube combo amplifier is based on the JTM45, widely considered to be the definitive '60s Marshall. With 30-watts of power channeled through dual 12" Celestion G12C Greenback alnico speakers, you'll command the legendary guitar tones of '60s rock legends. The Anniversary Bluesbreaker features an aluminum chassis and a hand-woven grille cloth. You'll also get a certificate of authenticity, a dust cover for the amp, and a book on the history of the 1962 amp. The Bluesbreaker is the guitar amp that shaped the sound of '60s blues and rock, from sweet and smooth clean tones to overdriven, growling dirt. One channel and basic tone controls are all that's needed for iconic tone. This amp oozes sonic sweetness from its all-tube design, which imparts the natural sustain and compression the JTM45 was famed for. Simply put, you'll love how it sounds, feels, and plays. Add a piece of history to your collection with the Marshall Limited Edition 50th Anniversary 1962 Bluesbreaker.
