Wildwoodians, we are proud to present you with a true exemplar of the Gold Standard: a Wildwood Spec reissue of the legendary 1956 Les Paul Standard. These midas-kissed beauties feature a host of true-to-vintage appointments that give them the sort of tone that haunts the dreams of Les Paul enthusiasts and P-90 aficionados.
Everything starts with quality tonewoods--warm, round-sounding mahogany and crisp, clear maple, and a sweet-sounding rosewood fretboard. Once they pick out some good-sounding wood, the master luthiers at the Gibson Custom Shop attach everything together using hot hide glue. Using hide glue is a time-consuming old-world manufacturing technique that pays incredible sonic dividends because it creates the strongest possible connection between each piece of wood to build as much resonance as possible. That means that these pretty golden girls sing loud and proud even when unplugged!
When you do plug in, you will be amazed at how well the natural acoustic voice of these instruments translates to huge electrified tone. Each one comes equipped with Custom Shop Alnico 3 P-90s that seem to capture all our favorite parts of old pickups. Warm, woody low end, touch-sensitive midrange that can sing, punch or bite depending on your mood, and lush, chiming high-end. If vintage-style sparkle and crunch are your thing, you'll find yourself utterly enamored with the sound of the Wildwood Spec '56 Standard.
The feel of these guitars is delightful, too, thanks to the righteous rounded fifties neck profile. Its beefy feel is comfortable to the point of being addictive! You may very well find yourself sitting down with one of these guitars for a quick noodle only to slip into a golden haze, emerging hours later with a half-dozen missed notifications on your phone and a rumbling stomach because you forgot to feed yourself. Such a comfortable neck profile allows you to freely wander the fretboard and explore the multitude of sweet sounds hiding beneath that gilded maple top.
In other words, these Les Pauls are worth their weight in gold because they provide such a fantastic playing experience! Their handfeel is second to none, and their sound makes you feel like you're living in a classic record once you flip the standby switch up. We are proud to offer such inspiring instruments to our exceptional customers, and we invite you to plug one in and experience the magic of the Gibson Custom Shop.

The best looking Les Paul ever and one of the best looking guitar of all time
Canadian tuxedo and a gold top Les Paul. Don't get much better than that.
You guy's have great video's. What a kick ass player Greg is!
I love how the guitars, ‘specially the Lester William Polsfuss’s, look like lil toys when you play them. And, how you manhandle all of them into blissful sonic submission! Keep it up ‘Satch!!!
What a juicy specimen of 🎶
Holy jeez...if that is not playing da guitar, don’t know what is! Awesome vid!
Just exquisit! 👌🏼
Nice playing Greg!
Who needs humbuckers when you have P-90s!
Joe Schlicht I replaced a set of stock P-90s on an SG classic with Fralin hum cancelling P-90s. The hum was just too much on the stock ones...
@@oaeoeaoRust Yes, hum can be a issue at times. In fact I was dealing with it last night just in my bedroom - new amp (louder) though. I really meant it as far as tone...p-90s have a sound!!
@@joeschlicht Boys play humbuggys. Men ride P90s
Imagine a tobacco burst P90 Les Paul with black plastic on it and gold hardware… I think that would be a classy tone beast.
57 classic PAF's on all Tobacco Bursts! 🤎
Soapbar P90's on all G💛ldtops!
Peanut Butter & Jelly!
💛
Love these reviews! But come on Gibson Custom Shop.. The Gibson logo on the 54,56 and 57 are way to high.....
Legit af
when in middle pos, was the neck pup turned back up? Didn't sound like it
I don't care about that guitar, what is that glorious sounding amp??!
I got one # 63271. Are they getting expensive yet?
This is the only configuration a gold top should come in!
💯
Slab o’ tone infestations and merriment
Hey GC, hey GC, won't you play for me
Please, what’s the song at 5.35? Pleeeeaaaaase!
That would be Hideaway by Freddie King.
Jonne Nyberg super cool, thanks 😉
@@Outdoorandguitars And btw Freddie King played a gold top Les Paul with P90s - which some bloke called Eric Clapton saw him pictured with on an album cover, so he decided to get a Les Paul too. Don't know what became of him though...
Noisy pick ups
