Description
The Gibson Custom Shop M2M 1956 Les Paul Standard VOS is a distinctive guitar that blends the best features of mid-century Gibson instruments. As soon as you uncase this guitar, you'll be mesmerized by its unique ebony finish and natural mahogany back, which combine to create a one-of-a-kind look that screams rock 'n' roll. You'll also love its sizzlin' P90 pickups, which deliver hefty single-coil tones with plenty of midrange punch.
The M2M 1956 Les Paul Standard has a mahogany body capped with a 2-piece plain maple top, giving it a rich tonal foundation with strong mids and truckloads of sustain. Joining the body is a Carmelita mahogany neck, which has a similar feel to that of a '59 Les Paul, but is slightly thinner for a faster playing experience.
Two Custom Shop P90 Soap Bar pickups give this Gibson its signature '50s sound. These pickups have a bright, punchy tone with exceptional clarity, allowing them to cut through any mix. Rounded out with a pair of volume knobs, dual tone controls, and a 3-way pickup selector, the M2M 1956 Les Paul Standard has everything you need to dial in your dream sound.
Finished with a VOS light aging treatment, the Gibson Custom Shop M2M 1956 Les Paul Standard is perfect for musicians seeking a rare guitar with a rockin' tone and a charming old-school appearance.
