Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Electric Guitar - Murphy Lab Heavy Aged Double Gold Reviews
Do you yearn for the chunky neck of an early Les Paul? The tone and handling of a mid-'50s wraparound tailpiece? The loving look of a true worn-in workhorse? If so, then the Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Heavy Aged is your chance to get your fretting hand around these features and much more. The 1954 Les Paul lays claim to what many guitarists consider to be the Holy Grail of neck profiles: the Chunky "C". This guitar is also known for its unique stud-mounted wraparound bridge/tailpiece that contributed to its vocal-like sustain. The '54 Reissue packs both of these characteristics, plus a set of Custom Shop P-90 single-coil pickups to serve up all the Freddie King/Jeff Beck snarl you could ask for. Factor in an authentic Heavy Aged finish brought to you by the Gibson Custom Shop's Murphy Lab artisans — named for Master Artisan Tom Murphy — and the 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is one of the most accurate re-creations this side of vintage. Take it from Les Paul lovers at Sweetwater: if you're chasing that true '54 vibe, you're going to revel in all the Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Heavy Aged has to offer.

Best Guitar your money can buy
First, thanks to Kurt Martin for working with me for years. He is great and highly recommended.
This guitar is IMHO the best Gibson vintage reissue guitar you can buy (yes better than a high end 59 RI). The P-90s have a rich full tone, every tweak of the volume and tone knobs provide a different character and the stop tail piece seems to provide a bit more zing (while staying perfectly in tune up and down the neck) than the tune-o-matic type. The P-90s can handle any type of music except for extreme metal.
Build quality- I'm lucky enough to have a real 1954 Les Paul Goldtop and bought this as a play out version and I can tell you conclusively this guitar is so close to the original that I get them confused every time I pick one up. The necks are identical, so is the rarely correct gold finish. They got it correct on this one. I'm lucky enough to have a number of reissues including a 55, 57, Jeff Beck and a 59 CC and this is far and away the best playing and sounding.
