Before humbuckers took over the neighborhood, the Les Paul had P-90s, a Goldtop and absolutely no interest in behaving quietly. Gibson’s 1956 recipe is wonderfully uncomplicated: a big mahogany neck, two soapbars, an ABR-1 and enough gold paint to make you wonder why anyone ever bothered inventing another color. This 2025 Custom Shop ’56 Reissue brings the whole thing back — fortunately without requiring you to refinance your house to buy an actual 1956.

Condition
Born on September 29th, 2025, and she remains in excellent condition. The VOS treatment gives her the proper lightly aged vintage presentation without looking like somebody dragged her behind a Buick for three counties. And at 8.4 pounds, she’s a very comfortable example of a full-fat ’56 Goldtop — although that .936″ to 1.019″ neckmakes no apologies whatsoever. This is a neck for people who believe a guitar neck should actually contain some wood.
Included
Includes the original Gibson Custom Shop Lifton-style hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity and the original case candy shown in the photos. We also just installed a fresh new set of 10-46’s, so she’s all dressed up, tuned up and ready to remind everyone that P-90s were doing just fine before humbuckers showed up and started taking all the credit.
Whoever brings this baby home is going to be completely STOKED!!
LET’S GOOOO!! 🎸🔥
