Gibson Custom Limited 57 Les Paul Standard Mustard Gold Ultra Heavy Aged 76657

Serial: 76657
Weight: 8 lb 11.5 oz

This Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue takes the classic late-’50s Goldtop formula and gives it a distinctive Mustard Gold finish with the full Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged treatment.

The body pairs a lightweight one-piece mahogany back with a two-piece plain maple top, finished in Ultra Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer. Extensive checking, softened edges, and heavy wear give the guitar the appearance and feel of an instrument that has seen decades of use.

The mahogany neck features Gibson Custom’s substantial Chunky 1950s Chunky D profile and a long neck tenon, paired with a rosewood fingerboard, Historic narrow/tall frets, trapezoid inlays, and a period-correct nylon nut.

A matched pair of unpotted, underwound Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers completes the build. Traditional Les Paul controls, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and aged nickel hardware keep the rest of the package firmly rooted in 1957.

A Lifton reissue hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity are included.
