The use of glass-hard Hide Glue at the relevant wood joints in combination with the nitrocellulose finish guarantees an optimal sound development.

The electrical tone conversion of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Goldtop Reissue VOS DoubleGold is handled by two Gibson custombuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Equipped with Alnico III magnets and non-waxed coils, the humbuckers prove to be authentic PAF recreations and deliver an especially warm vintage sound. Cleanly articulating basses, a wide and vocal midrange spectrum as well as brilliant highs together with the organic dynamics support expressive electric guitar playing in the clean as well as in the overdrive channel. Thanks to the authentic oil-paper capacitors, the hand-wired circuitry allows for particularly sensitive and harmonious adjustment of the sound.
