Brand new Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup Bigsby VOS in Ebony!
This guitar will be fully setup before pickup/shipment. Photos are of the actual guitar unless otherwise noted.
If you would like the guitar set up any particular way, please get in touch with us!
*Store Note*
These Les Pauls are absolutely insane sounding. There is nothing like a 1 piece mahogany bodied Les Paul. These smoke every single other custom shop LP, and if you're even thinking about doing a 59' instead, don't. Do this. They're absolutely spectacular guitars.
Description:
With its elegant lines and Ebony/Pearl/Gold aesthetic, the 1957 Les Paul Custom is easily one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made. It features a body carved out of a single large piece of solid mahogany, unique among Les Paul models. The resulting dark mid-range tone from the body pairs perfectly with its bright-sounding solid Ebony fingerboard. All together, it's the pinnacle of guitar craftsmanship, design and tone. Gibson Custom Shop is proud to revive every last detail of the original "Black Beauty" for this '57 Les Paul Custom Reissue, from the dimensions and contours to the precise inlay patterns to the entire ownership experience.
