Epiphone Les Paul 57 Goldtop Electric Guitar

In 1957 Gibson’s Les Paul Collection entered a new age of sound. Featuring the "new" humbucking pickup, the Les Paul Goldtop launched the sound heard around the world. Just like the very first LP's available, the Epiphone '57 Goldtop Les Paul has a super-cool vintage look and sound.

Equipped with a pair of powerful Alnico V humbucking pickups and the unmistakable Les Paul Goldtop finish, the Epiphone '57 Goldtop Les Paul also features a solid mahogany body, mahogany top, mahogany set-neck and the tune-o-matic bridge/stopbar tailpiece combo for monstrous sustain. It also has chrome hardware, two volume and two tone knobs and a three-way toggle switch. Case not included.

I'm fairly sure Epi didn't make the '57 Goldtop before 1957.
