Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Custom Staple Pickup Reissue VOS Electric Guitar Ebony

Ordered sight unseen and took a chance. I wanted P90s but then the staple pickup caught my eye. The fit and finish was perfect out of the case. I was worried the neck might be a bit too chunky not having one around to try at the store near me. It is thicker but it fits the hand really well. If you're looking at this model it's more than likely because of the staple pickup and I'm here to say it definitely does not disappoint. It's kind of a shame that this is really the only way to get this pickup because it is excellent. It's probably my favorite pickup at this point and it pairs really well with the P90 in the bridge. The staple has a really clear high and low end. Paired with the midrange punch of the P90 it is amazing in the middle switch position but all three positions offer great tone that is a bit different from your standard Les Paul. I think it has the best clean tone I've heard in a LP but it also just sings so great when overdriven. At this time I think you can only buy this model in VOS but it fits this model perfectly, and you will love the look. If you're in the market for a guitar in this price range and want something different, something other guitarists don't have, you really can't go wrong here. Special shout out to Grant at GC Memphis for excellent customer service and helping me to figure out the model which fit me best.
