Product Description

In 1957, "Patent Applied For" humbuckers became standard issue on both the Les Paul Model and the Les Paul Custom. To go along with its already upscale appointments, the Les Paul Custom was made available with either two or three of these quiet, powerful new pickups. Now part of Gibson's proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series -- the next step in the journey toward perfection.
