This review is from: Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar, Antique GoldI personally own 4 Gibson Les Pauls and the 1957 Goldtop VOS is head and shoulders above the others. When looking for a Goldtop, I spent 3 hours at a Gibson retailer playing nearly every Gibson LP they had in stock. I played the Slash signature, the Standard, the Traditional...I played them all through a Marshall 100 watt tube amp through a Marshall 1960 4 X 12 Cabinet. When I picked up the '57 VOS, I could feel the quality immediately. I played a few chords, ripped a quick pentatonic lick and did a tone and a half bend at the 12th fret on the second string...the sustain was amazing! My wife, who had been sitting there the entire time looking completely bored, looked up and asked, "what guitar is that?" The vintage sounding PAF humbuckers sound absolutely great! The 50s neck feels like a Louisville Slugger and the top is perfectly done. The only thing I've changed about the guitar is adding Dunlop straplocks to make sure I don't drop this beauty. This guitar is made to play and will not disappoint. Worth every dime!...
This review is from: Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop VOS Electric Guitar, Antique GoldI have always been a Fender guy, and as a professional Player I was always aware of Gibson LP's great sound but never wanted to carry such a heavy load. Let me sincerely tell you, 27 yrs later I missed out. I can't put this beauty down. I play this through a boutique overdrive pedal straight into a Vintage '66 Deluxe (oh yeah) and the sounds that come out of it are too insane. If you play any type of Rock this is the one for you, great for Blues and Jazzers too. This instrument is guaranteed to please, worth the extra $$. and it just looks cool, very sweet indeed. I have to mention I have the action set extremely low and it still resonates well. Gibson got it right with the VOS line, it think you'll hear that straight down the line. Gibson customer support? I called for a question about a manufacturers discount I received from them when I graduated MIT in Hollywood, the rep over the phone sounded like he needed some sleep and wasn't helpful in anyway. So I have a feeling they are nothing close to Taylor Guitars in the customer service department but then again I never had to call the Manufacturer about defects on any of my 'many previous' guitars so it shouldn't be much of an issue. This instrument was built for the pro's, or anyone that simply wants a premium grade instrument and can afford it....
