This Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue is oozing with classic tone and vintage-original-spec authenticity — everything, that is, except for its Bigsby-equipped ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, which adds haunting vibrato effects to the '57's legendary bite and sustain. Murphy Lab Light Aging re-creates the dings, checking, and patina of decades of casual wear, faithfully capturing the depth, and richness of a genuine '57 Custom — one of the most iconic solidbody electric guitars ever made.
Handcrafted by Gibson's elite Custom Shop luthiers, the 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue features top-shelf tonewoods, including a 1-piece mahogany body and a fast, comfortable Chunky "C" profile mahogany neck topped by a silky-smooth ebony fingerboard. Plug this instrument into your favorite tube amp, and experience searing PAF tones, courtesy of three unpotted CustomBucker Alnico III pickups.
Premium appointments, including gold hardware, mother-of-pearl '50s Pattern inlays, and Kluson Waffleback tuners complete the amazing 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue.
