USED Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul R4 1954 VOS Reissue Electric Guitar Gold Top

Just in @ Guitar Brando - a beautiful near mint example of a Gibson '54 VOS Reissue in brilliant gold top, complete with Gibson CS case and all case candy. This is a very clean collectors guitar with only a pair of very minor surface scratches on the rear of the guitar to note. These are shown in the photos, but it is extremely hard to capture accurately. These only appear under certain lighting conditions.

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals.
