The Gibson Custom ’57 Les Paul Custom VOS in Ebony brings the legendary “Black Beauty” into the modern age with a level of craftsmanship and authenticity that honors every detail of the original. Its one-piece mahogany body, chunky C-profile mahogany neck, and smooth ebony fingerboard create the unmistakable feel and resonance that defined the earliest Les Paul Customs. The VOS nitrocellulose finish delivers the depth and subtle aging of a lovingly preserved vintage instrument, while the medium-jumbo Historic frets and Plek-leveled setup provide exceptional playability right out of the case. With premium appointments like gold hardware, multi-ply binding, and vintage-style Kluson Waffleback tuners, this reissue captures the elegance and presence that made the ’57 Custom iconic.

Under the hood, the ’57 Les Paul Custom VOS is powered by a pair of Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers designed to replicate the lively, open character of vintage PAFs. They deliver everything from warm, singing sustain to cutting articulate bite, making this guitar every bit the expressive tool its ancestors were. A period-correct ABR-1 bridge and aluminum stop tailpiece round out the vintage accuracy, ensuring both tone and feel stay true to the era. Handcrafted by Gibson’s Custom Shop to embody the look, sound, and soul of the original, this extraordinary Les Paul Custom is available now at Haggerty’s Music.
