I have a few nice Les Pauls and was very surprised at how nice this guitar really is. Read a lot of reviews and figured that all these people can't be wrong and purchased my Gold Top 50's. These new Gibson's are the real deal. This is just my opinion but these guitars approach Custom Shop quality. And this new Gold is stunning. Fit and finish perfect! Get one and see for yourself.

Also, Dave M. My sales engineer is the best! Went over and above to make this the perfect deal. Thank you sir!

So I ordered this guitar late last year thinking it would take a long time to receive. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the guitar after only about 4 months. The guitar I received is the one lefty currently on the site. I have owned various Gibson's over the years and I am very impressed with this one. Everything is on point, fit and finish is outstanding, neck profile is super comfortable, tone is what you would expect. I had always wanted a gold top and I must say I am thrilled with this guitar. It's a keeper for sure. Shout out to Reid who is always a pleasure to purchase from. Well done Gibson.

Sound, feel,weight,look,.........Incredible............

First I,d like to send out some love to Chuck whose online business model is absolute genius. The 55 point check alone should alleviate all concerns about ordering expensive equipment online... but everything else including warranty service is superb as well. Next some love for my personal sales/sound engineer Alan Finkbeiner who bade me to hold fire for this very guitar. The SE" are valuable resources that Sweetwater provides free...be sure to take advantage of that.

Alan and I often talked about the real les Paul of old. No dip switches, no titanium adjustable nuts, no weight relieved body, no push pull pots and no custom shop trying to make you believe that somehow their mahogany, maple, rosewood and humbuckers were worth thousands and thousands more. Fortunately, Gibson was listening. They did it. They produced just the plain old sweet les Paul Goldtop goodness of my youth and it plays and sounds great! You can"t really say that a $... guitar is cheap or even inexpensive, but I would stack this guitar up against any custom shop product.

Thanks Alan. You can"t imagine how close I was to spending money that I didn"t have to for the equipment I want and need. Had you not been on top of new and upcoming Gibson product I"d be eating beans a lot more often
