The first Les Paul that could have been a fairly accurate reissue was a 56 goldtop, which came out in 1968. I had a chance to buy one of these in the late 1980s. in player condition for $900. I turned it down because of a collapsed bridge(foolishpicky me ). Does any LP lover know why Gibson chose a 1956 GT to be their reintro of the Les Paul guitar, in an era of top players(Bloomfield. Green, Page, Kossoff,Allman , Simmons. et al) who gave wide exposure to the 58 to60 LP sunbursts for the most part. The burst with humbuckers would have been the obvious choice to reintroduce the SC Les Paul guitar back in 68. JUBELO
