Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard Goldtop Dark Back VOS Lefty (032)

The Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard Goldtop Dark Back VOS Left-Handed faithfully recreates one of Gibson's most iconic electric guitars in a left-handed configuration. Built with a plain maple top over a one-piece lightweight mahogany body, it delivers the rich sustain, warm resonance, and dynamic response that made the original 1956 Goldtop legendary. The striking Dark Back VOS finish pairs the classic Goldtop with a dark-finished mahogany back and neck, giving this Historic Reissue a distinctive vintage-inspired appearance. A substantial 1950s Chunky "D" neck profile, Indian rosewood fingerboard, and historically accurate construction provide an authentic playing experience true to the original.

A pair of Custom Shop Soapbar P-90 pickups delivers everything players love about a great mid-'50s Les Paul—articulate cleans, warm lows, rich midrange, and the unmistakable bite and harmonic complexity that have made P-90s legendary. Combined with a historic ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar, and traditional 2-volume, 2-tone controls, this left-handed Goldtop offers classic Gibson tone with uncompromising Custom Shop craftsmanship.
