    50th Anniversary 57 Reissue All Gold GoldTop

    in The Gibson Lounge

    Posted

    Hi ya - 

    from my perspective these customs are super looking instruments and they sound really good.

     

    in addition to that all 3 of mine are nice and heavy at 10.5 lbs which I love 

    keep you eye out philsr57 and you will find one

    Anyone looking here that has one of these Jewels to show us a picture?

     

    Maybe discuss general stuff concerning these very limited instruments....

    Very Good, keep those 3 Jewels! 

    Well, the one CUSTOM I knew of for $10K on Reverb is gone as of today so I assume it was sold.

    I don't know if anyone is looking for one of these models but I thought to post anyway.

     

    Just keep your eyes open and the custom you are looking for may show up at the right price 

     

    when you see one on Reverb I would message the seller direct and start a dialogue 

     

    i always try to get a  phone # and talk on phone 

     

    thanks again for the updates

    2021 LP Custom - Silverburst

    I would buy the new one.  As you mentioned it is less money than what they are asking for used ones, and it should be perfect with no dings or scratches and no quirky set-ups that the previous owner may have done.  I would never pay more for a used one that could have unknown issues when I could get a brand new one for less.

    Thanks - I’m thinking the same thing 

    Appreciate your reply 🤙

    $4500 IMHO isn’t bad for a custom at all brand new. It’s a lot of dough but LP Customs cost a lot. They look like great guitars so good luck!

    Thanks- I agree 

    as I looked at nice resell Silverburst for more I found that I could get a new one (Custom 2021) for less 

     

    I have a decent amount of killer vintage and collectible Les Pauls so on occasion I like the feeling of a new one especially since it appears to me the quality since 2019 (emerging from BK and new leadership) has been great on Gibson 

    i bought 3 new 2019’s all really nice and 1 new 2020 also very nice - killer quality / sound / attention to detail etc 

    thanks for your reply

    That’s fine / I’m not worried about the price I was just asking for people’s personal opinions on whether they would rather own s brand new custom Silverburst for about $4500 or a resell for more money

    Is it one of the Tool guys guitars or just run of the mill LP?  Just regular new LP Standards go for $2500. Other than the color you want what is so special about it.?

    It’s not a Standard- Gibson makes a Custom

    With all the new interest in Silverburst (the Adam Jones effect) the prices on used Silverburst are strong 

     

    I found I can get a brand new 2021 Silverburst Custom for like $4500 - any thoughts as to a brand new one at that price point ($4500) or a nice resale at significantly higher?

     

    thanks

    DK33 what do you estimate the value on the Custom at? I see many Standards and they are all over the board. Thanks Vincent BMG

    I’m no expert and yes they are all over the board - it appears that they can be purchased between 6-9k 

    i see those others in reverb for 12-15 but they have been listed for years 

    killer guitars in my opinion

    I bought the Custom model - I personally think they play and sound really nice 

    they are nice and heavy as well 

    I have no idea how they compare to the sound of a 1957 but that’s not why I bought them anyway 

    I m stoked in the guitars 

     

    please let us know what you think when you get yours

    I was hoping to learn more about the 2007 50th Anniversary all gold Gold Tops that were made.

    What I currently know is -

    there was only 157 made as Customs with a "C" starting the serial #

    there was only 157 made as Standards with a "S" starting the serial #

    It appears the Customs had Ebony fretboards and the Standards had Rosewood

    Aside from that I cant really find a demo videos or specs on pickups / 

    How close they are to original specs

    Do they sound good etc

     

    Thanks
