The Gibson Les Paul Custom has long represented the pinnacle of Gibson's craftsmanship: A guitar conceived by Les Paul himself as the elegant "tuxedo" version of his revolutionary solidbody design. While the original 1957 Black Beauty became legendary for its luxurious appointments and commanding voice, the Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Custom All Korina VOS offers an inspired reinterpretation of that classic formula. Created as part of Gibson Custom's Limited Edition Collection, this exceptional instrument draws upon years of Made to Measure requests, pairing the timeless sophistication of the Les Paul Custom with the rare beauty and unmistakable tonal character of all-Korina construction. Available at Haggerty's Music, it is a remarkable instrument for players and collectors seeking something truly distinctive.

From its Antique Natural VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish to its beautifully figured Korina body and matching Korina neck, every aspect of this guitar highlights the warmth and visual depth of one of Gibson's most celebrated tonewoods. Unlike traditional mahogany-bodied Les Paul Customs, Korina brings an airy resonance, lively midrange, articulate highs, and exceptional harmonic complexity while retaining the thick sustain and authority players expect from a Les Paul. Multi-ply top and back binding, a bound ebony fingerboard, and the iconic split-diamond headstock inlay preserve the unmistakable elegance that has defined the Les Paul Custom for nearly seven decades.

The substantial 1950s Chunky D neck profile provides the reassuring feel of a true late-'50s Les Paul, while the long neck tenon enhances sustain and overall resonance. An ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays offers a fast, glassy playing surface, and reissue medium jumbo frets make everything from expressive bends to intricate chord work feel effortless. Whether you're performing on stage or recording in the studio, the guitar responds with remarkable sensitivity and dynamic range.

Electronically, a matched pair of Gibson Custom Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers delivers everything players love about vintage Patent Applied For-style pickups: warm lows, articulate mids, sweet highs, and outstanding note separation. Their uncovered Double Classic White bobbins add a striking visual contrast against the Antique Natural finish while hinting at the guitar's unique personality. Hand-wired controls with individual volume and tone knobs allow for a wide range of expressive tones, from sparkling cleans to rich vintage overdrive that rewards every nuance of your playing.

Completing the package is an elegant collection of period-correct gold hardware, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and Kluson Waffleback tuners. This Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Custom All Korina stands as a stunning celebration of Gibson's past while confidently carving out a place all its own.
