Description

The Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul VOS in Candy Apple Blue is more than a tribute to vintage tone; it's a bold expression of artistry, built for players who crave historic soul with a visual edge. Whether you're a vintage Les Paul devotee, a blues-rock lifer, or a collector chasing rare top-and-back combos, this guitar speaks your language. Drawing from Gibson's rich post-war legacy, it channels the raw, unfiltered magic of the '50s-updated with a mesmerizing aesthetic twist that sets it apart in any room.

At its heart, this Les Paul pairs a solid mahogany body with a plain maple top; it's a classic tonewood combo that delivers warmth, punch, and that unmistakable midrange bite. The dual CustomBucker Alnico III pickups are unpotted for an airy, open response; each note blooms with vintage clarity and bite, especially when pushing a cranked amp. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop caps ensure smooth roll-off and dynamic interaction between the volume and tone pots; it's a dream setup for expressive live or studio work.

The '50s Chunky D-shape neck profile (measuring .900" to 1.000") stays true to the era and feels substantial in the hand without being overbearing. A rosewood fingerboard with narrow-tall Jescar FW50078 frets offers just the right amount of modern comfort without compromising vintage feel. The Historic wraparound bridge and Kluson Deluxe tuners deliver solid intonation and tuning stability; they're roadworthy, gig-ready, and built to handle years of soulful bends and low-down riffing.

Visually, this is where the guitar breaks the mold. The Candy Apple Blue top over a Walnut-stained back brings a stunning duality; it's dark, deep and grounded, yet flashy from the front, earthy and rich from behind. Aged celluloid trapezoid inlays and lightly aged nickel hardware tie it all together, radiating vintage class with a modern wink.

This 1954 Les Paul VOS is everything we love about vintage reissues-timeless tone, historic feel, and top-shelf craftsmanship-wrapped in a finish that's totally fresh. At Cream City Music, we're all about guitars that make you *feel* something; this one's got mojo for days and a look you won't stop staring at.
