Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar With TV Jones Power'Tron Pickups - VOS, Gold Sparkle

Finished in dazzling Gold Sparkle and equipped with TV Jones Power’Tron pickups, the Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Reissue delivers a bold reinterpretation of one of Gibson’s most celebrated designs. Part of the Gibson Custom Limited-Edition Collection and limited to just 100 instruments, this model pairs a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top for classic Les Paul warmth, sustain and articulation. A 1950s Chunky "D" mahogany neck offers a substantial vintage feel, complemented by a rosewood fingerboard designed for fluid, expressive playing. The VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances resonance while introducing subtle aging for a gently played-in appearance. What truly sets this reissue apart, however, is its TV Jones Power’Tron pickups, delivering a distinctive hybrid voice that blends late-’50s character with modern output and dynamic response.

TV Jones Power’Tron Pickups Deliver a Bold Hybrid Voice

At the core of this limited-edition model are TV Jones Power’Tron pickups, offering a distinctive tonal alternative to traditional humbuckers. Drawing inspiration from Patent Applied For-style pickups while incorporating elements of Filter’Tron design, the Power’Tron delivers higher output, fuller lows and a darker overall response. The result is a voice that remains articulate and dynamic while adding weight and authority to riffs and lead lines. This unique configuration gives the guitar a compelling tonal identity that expands the traditional Les Paul palette.

Solid Mahogany Body and Maple Top for Classic Les Paul Resonance

True to late-’50s construction, the guitar features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, producing a balanced voice with strong sustain and focused attack. There is no weight relief, allowing the tonewoods to resonate fully and deliver the expressive response players associate with vintage examples. The VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances resonance while adding subtle aging to the Gold Sparkle top, giving the instrument both visual depth and tonal openness.

1950s Chunky "D" Neck Profile for Substantial Vintage Feel

The mahogany neck features a 1950s Chunky "D" profile, offering the substantial grip favored by many vintage Les Paul players. A long neck tenon strengthens the neck-to-body connection, contributing to improved sustain and stability. The rosewood fingerboard with narrow/tall frets and a 12" radius supports smooth articulation and controlled bends, while the nylon nut and 24.75" scale length complete the period-correct playing experience.

Classic Hardware And Appointments For Period-Correct Style

Nickel hardware, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece provide stable tuning and reliable intonation. Kluson Deluxe tuners reinforce the vintage aesthetic while maintaining dependable performance. Gold Top Hat knobs, cream plastics and nickel pickup covers complete the late-’50s-inspired visual identity, tying together classic styling with the standout Gold Sparkle finish.
