{"product_id":"11-2800005483970","title":"[SN 74038] USED Gibson Custom \/ Historic Collection 1957 Les Paul Standard VOS Left-Handed Gold Top [11]","description":"The Classic Goldtop: The “R7” Left-Handed Model with a Thick Neck That Roars\u003cbr\u003e \nThe 1957 Les Paul Standard VOS Left Hand from the Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection has arrived.\u003cbr\u003e \nCommonly known as the “R7,” this model is the flagship of the Historic Reissue series, faithfully recreating the specifications from 1957—the first year PAF humbuckers were introduced.\u003cbr\u003e \nIn addition to the classic mahogany back and maple top construction, it features a solid body with no weight relief. Its appeal lies in the thick, resilient low-to-midrange tones and rich sustain born from its substantial heft. The neck features an extra-thick profile characteristic of the 1950s, offering an exceptional sense of security when gripped and a seamless integration with the instrument’s tone.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with Custombucker pickups. The vintage PAF-like sound produced by Alnico III magnets offers excellent balance—from the sweet, full-bodied front pickup to the clear, well-defined rear pickup—and handles a wide range of tones, from clean to overdriven.\u003cbr\u003e \nAdditionally, the VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish recreates a subdued, aged appearance on the paint and parts. Its look—which exudes a vintage vibe despite being brand new—is another major attraction.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, this guitar is a rare left-handed model. As a Custom Shop left-handed model, it is extremely scarce on the market, making it a must-have for any left-handed player.\u003cbr\u003e \nWe invite you to experience the sound and feel that capture the very essence of a vintage Les Paul.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are a few dents visible on the back of the body, but other than that, the guitar is in good condition with no major damage.\u003cbr\u003e \nDue to the VOS finish, there are signs of mild aging, such as a loss of gloss in the paint and a slight tarnish on the metal parts; however, these are intentional features present since the guitar’s manufacture.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere is a crack visible on the tuning peg button, but it does not affect playability.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck is in good condition, and the guitar plays well.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 74038\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2014\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Genuine hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Certificate of Authenticity, Back Panel\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.33 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nRemaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 23.4 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRadius: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance Performed: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
