The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Custom VOS is a stunning revival of one of the most elegant and iconic guitars ever made. Often referred to as the "Black Beauty," this Les Paul Custom stays true to its 1957 roots with a solid mahogany body, delivering a deep, rich midrange tone that pairs beautifully with the bright articulation of its solid ebony fingerboard. The multi-ply binding, mother-of-pearl inlays, and gold hardware add to its timeless aesthetic, making it as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. The 50s Rounded Medium C neck profile offers a comfortable feel, while the long tenon, hide-glued neck joint ensures incredible sustain and resonance. Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this guitar captures the essence of vintage PAF tone, with warm, dynamic response and touch sensitivity. A no-wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and Kluson Waffleback tuners provide exceptional tuning stability and playability. Every detail, from the authentic 1950s truss rod to the butyrate black top hat control knobs and silkscreened switch washer, has been meticulously crafted to honor the original. Complete with a brown/pink Lifton reissue 5-latch hardshell case, a certificate of authenticity, and period-correct accessories, this '57 Les Paul Custom Reissue is the pinnacle of Gibson craftsmanship, design, and tone.
