Crafted to honor one of the most pivotal years in Les Paul history, the Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard Bigsby is a visually striking and sonically distinct reissue, aged by the Murphy Lab for authentic vintage character. This guitar blends iconic mid-‘50s style with a unique tonal configuration and modern refinements, making it a standout for players and collectors alike. A solid mahogany body topped with plain maple and finished in a lightly aged gloss nitrocellulose Ebony Top evokes the aesthetics of a true road-worn classic. The chunky 1950s-style mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard adds sustain and comfort for chord work or soaring leads.

The real magic lies in the pickup pairing: a vintage-voiced Gibson P-90 in the neck brings gritty bite and percussive snap, while a Custombucker PAF in the bridge delivers warm, singing sustain. This rare combination offers tonal versatility not often found in single- or dual-P90 models. Add the expressive Bigsby B7 vibrato and ’59 ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, and you get shimmer, swagger, and rock-solid stability in one commanding instrument. Whether you're after Neil Young-inspired raw tones or the punch of a late-‘50s burst, this Custom Shop Les Paul offers timeless feel and tone with a unique sonic twist; available now at Haggerty’s Music.
