As the number says is the 57 a reissue of a 57 Les Paul while the 59 is a 59 burst reissue.There was no burst top available in 57 what means that the 57LPC has a plaintop.The 59RI has a flametop and in most cases it is a thin veneer laminated over the maple top.A few have a solid flame top but they are pretty rare.As you said the other specs are similar like fret edge binding and the 57 classic pus.But normally both come with a pickguard and only a handful without a pickguard and a pickguard hole.I never had a 57 so I cannot say what the neck is like but if you are interested ask villager who knows all the specs at
