Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom 2-Pickup Ebony Ultra Light Aged

Med sina eleganta linjer och sin estetik i guld, svart och pärlemor är 1957 Les Paul Custom helt klart en av de mest ikoniska och vackra gitarrerna som någonsin skapats.

Gibson Custom Shop har i den här gitarren återskapat varenda detalj i den ursprungliga "Black Beauty. 
Den har Ultra Light Aging från det omtalade Murphy Lab - en finishbehandling som tillsammans med lätt åldrad hårdvara, simulerar årtionden av lätt användning. Det här är så nära känslan av ett originalexemplar från 1957 man kan komma!

Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

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. Altogether, 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. It features Ultra Light Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
