Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Electric Guitar - Double Gold, VOS Reviews
If you bought a Les Paul back in ’56, you would have gotten your hands of the rare combination of P-90 pickups and an adjustable ABR-1 bridge. Now, you can obtain that same coveted combo with the Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue. Enjoy the fat snarl of the P-90s, along with the intonation and sustain of the ABR-1. And, of course, you get the chunky neck that was standard issue back in ’56. The 1956 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue is a unique beast. If you're a Les Paul aficionado, you’ll want to get your hands of this one.

Best Les Paul!!
Great playing, great sounding, and great looking guitar! I can't say enough about the 1956 reissues. I have a R9 1959 reissue, but there is just some wonderful magic about the P90's in a Les Paul. As always, Aaron Rom, my sales engineer is great to work with.
Classic
It's a Goldtop with P-90s. Iconic. Looks amazing. Plays great. Sounds wonderful. Neck is no where near too big. Comfortable for my hands And nothing compared to something like a 53 Tele which is truly a baseball bat (which I also enjoy - also love my speed necks. Each is different and I like em all really). Smooth simple ordering and shipping. If you're thinking of it, just do it.
Hard To Put Down
I have had this gorgeous guitar for over nine months now and still can't wait to pick it up and play until my fingers hurt. Great neck that fits wonderfully in my hands. If you have shorter fingers, you may prefer a '59 or '60 reissue. For me this and the '58 are the way to go. The P-90s are great for jazz, blues and rock. Heck, pick near the bridge, add some delay + compression and you get a very nice country sound.
Gibson's Custom Shop did this one right all the way. It required just a few tweaks in the setup to accommodate my unorthodox fingering and picking but I do mean very little.
Thanks to Ted Hunter for helping me pick this one out.
Gibson 56 Goldtop Reissue
Great guitar! Fairly lightweight for one of these. Very resonant. Love the P90's, they sound incredible. Nice chunky neck but very comfortable to play, not overwhelming. Beautiful double gold finish. Outstanding customer service from Jeff Weinstein as always!!
