Product Description

The 1957 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty is the ultimate solid body Gibson Electric Guitar now with 2 humbucking, adjustable pickups. This new and improved Les Paul Custom has increased power, greater sustain, and a clear, resonant, sparkling tone.

Constructed with a solid Mahogany body, a carved Mahogany top, and bound with alternating white-black binding on the top and bottom of the body. This - along with a Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard, and deluxe pearl inlays - add to the beauty of this guitar.

Two BurstBucker pickups, with gold-plated polepieces, double combination ABR-1 bridge and stopbar tailpiece?adjustable both horizontally and vertically.

This combination provides sustaining tone qualities and precision adjustment. Finished in an Ebony lacquer finish for a rich contrast with the gold-plated hardware.

About the Les Paul Series
No matter where Gibson Les Paul is seen - in the hands of a star performer, silhouetted in a guitar dealer's ad, or cast in brass and incorporated into the architecture of a restaurant - it is universally recognized as the symbol of rock and roll music. From the basic no-frills guitars to elegant showpieces, the guitars of Les Paul are the standard-bearers of Gibson's excellence.
