Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

A faithful reproduction of an original 1957 Les Paul, offering the most select raw materials (genuine mahogany and maple), historically accurate neck and carved top profiles, and the most faithful to the original Gibson Humbucker of 1957 yet. Lightly Aged by hand, by artists at the Gibson Custom Shop, this guitar gives the appearance of a well worn but not worn out original.
