This review is from: Gibson 57 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue Electric Guitar, Antique Gold

Basically, I wanted a custom. Then I got my hands on one of these for a minute and realized that this is a Historic Custom Shop Model and blows the custom away. There are many reasons for this but the tone is truly pure and righteous. I have been a fender/superstrat guy for over 17 years and always wanted a les paul. This is truly a pro level guitar. It is the most toneful and focused guitar sound I have ever held. If you buy this make sure you get the certificate and the care package that comes with it.
