Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue Ebony 2 Pickup

The '57 Black Beauty is one of the most elegant Gibson models ever. Now as a Custom Shop re-release!

With its elegant binding, and thanks to the combination of the black lacquer, ebony fingerboard and mother-of-pearl inlays, the Gibson '57 Les Paul "Black Beauty" is one of the most iconic models of the equally legendary brand. The body is made of 1 piece of solid mahogany, which was unique within the Les Paul line-up at the time. The result is a dark, mid-focused sound that's perfectly balanced with the clear-sounding ebony fretboard. The craftsmanship oozes from this guitar and the Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue Ebony 2-Pickup is a joy to look at and to play.
