Description
Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 2015 Gibson Custom CS7 50’s Style Les Paul VOS with a Goldtop Finish! Gibson Custom’s CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop brings you the classic vibe of a guitar that helped change the world. This ultra-accurate, vintage-spec’d axe features an antique finish, classic hardware, a hide-glued neck and fingerboard, a vintage truss rod and tuner designs, and trapezoid fretboard inlays. A pair of Custom Bucker pickups give you amazing old-school tones. The playability, feel, and tone of this guitar are completely vintage. Owning the Gibson Custom CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop is like owning a piece of music history.
Gibson Custom’s guitars are brimming with spot-on authenticity and massive vintage vibe. If you want a guitar that has all the classic tone and vibe of an original, then you’ll truly appreciate the Gibson Custom CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop electric guitar. The neck and fretboard are attached using hide glue, which many argue sounds better than synthetic glue. Gibson Custom Shop also uses an original spec truss rod, a truss rod washer, and an anchor. Kluson Green Key tuners feature proper vintage profile, color, and performance specifications. These features and others make the Gibson Custom CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop one of the most accurate reproductions ever.
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to the CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop’s electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and Bumblebee capacitors, every part of its internal signal path is designed to give you absolutely dead-on ’57 Les Paul tone. Of course, it’s next to impossible to find genuine ’50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Custom CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop sports a pair of Gibson’s CustomBucker humbuckers. The Custom Bucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. You just won’t find another Les Paul that comes as close to the original look, sound, and feel of a ’57 Les Paul!
When early Les Pauls are discussed (and they are at great length), a big issue is always the neck profile. The earliest Les Pauls had big, fat necks made of mahogany. The neck was slimmed down a bit in 1959 and it finally evolved into what’s known today as the SlimTaper neck in 1960. Some players love those huge old necks while others prefer the SlimTaper design. This CS7 50’s Style Les Paul Standard VOS Goldtop has a bound mahogany neck with the original chunky ’50s rounded neck profile, which is historically accurate. This guitar is in excellent shape with finish checking around knobs and some minor indents and marks, rated at 9.5/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case and a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
