Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue Ebony 3-Pickup Bigsby

Lose yourself in the deep, full tones and dark ebony beauty of this classical guitar

The original “Black Beauty” returns with its stunning and seductive ebony, pearl, and gold motif. 1957 was the first year to feature the Gibson humbucker™. This tribute comes with two or three Custombucker pickups that conjure up the same lush PAF tones as the original. Impeccably crafted and authentic down to the last detail, this guitar’s dark, rounded body is constructed from a single block of resonant mahogany. Along the thick C-shaped neck, a smooth ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays invites hours of comfortable playing. And under the glare of stage lights, it shines brightly. Gold hardware—pickup covers, Kluson® tuners, and an optional Bigsby tailpiece—ignite a fire that perfectly matches this guitar’s hot, throaty wail.
