A Custom Shop recreation of the 1957 Les Paul Goldtop, built to vintage specs: one-piece mahogany body, plain maple top, chunky 1950s D neck and underwound Alnico 3 Custombuckers. The Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aged nitro finish and aged hardware mimic decades of play wear. It suits players who want vintage-correct feel and tone and collectors who value the aged look. Against a Standard '50s Les Paul it adds Custom Shop wood selection, unpotted pickups and hand aging at a much higher cost; against a vintage original it delivers the same recipe without the fragility and price of a real 1957.

Owners of Custom Shop '57 reissues praise the resonance, the chunky neck and the open Custombucker tone, and many say the Murphy Lab aging feels convincing in hand. Complaints center on the aged look, pickup squeal under heavy gain and the premium over a USA Standard.
The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a recreation of the 1957 Goldtop Les Paul. It follows the original year of production in its woods, construction, parts and contours. It has a gold finish and a solid mahogany and maple build.
The body is one-piece solid mahogany with a two-piece plain maple top. The finish is Ultra Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer, applied by the Murphy Lab. Together with heavily aged hardware, it simulates decades of heavy play wear.
It has humbucking pickups, a 1950s Chunky D neck profile and a 24.75-inch scale length.
