Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue VOS Electric Guitar-Ebony 2-Pickup

Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue VOS Electric Guitar - Ebony 2-Pickup

From the hallowed halls of the Gibson Custom Shop comes a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made: the 1957 Les Paul Custom. Nicknamed the "Black Beauty," this instrument is a true work of art, a perfect marriage of elegant design and unparalleled tone. The body is carved from a single piece of solid mahogany, a unique feature among Les Paul models that gives it a rich, dark midrange voice. This pairs perfectly with the bright-sounding, solid ebony fingerboard, giving you a tonal palette that's both deep and articulate.

This isn't just a looker; it's a player's dream. The '57 Les Paul Custom Reissue is loaded with a pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers. These pickups are built to capture the magic of the original PAFs, giving you an authentic vintage tone that's rich, warm, and dynamic. Whether you're chasing the legendary tones of players like Les Paul himself or looking to forge your own path, this guitar has the versatility and power to get you there. With its meticulous attention to detail, from the chunky C-shaped neck to the precise inlay patterns, this guitar truly feels like a time capsule from the golden age of rock and roll.
