Gibson 57 Les Paul Custom VOS £4180
The reissued '57 looks gorgeous, but is it good enough to justify its hefty price?

Manufacturer's description
Seth Lover's fabled "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul Model in 1957. These dual coil pickups, quieter yet more powerful than the single coil P-90s that preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented sustain and tone. The 1957 Goldtop Historic Reissue is equipped with BurstBusters to faithfully replicate the warm, vocal quality and rich harmonic content of the legendary originals. Now part of our proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series - the next step in our journey toward perfection.
