Description
Gibson's Custom Shop '55 Sergio Vallin Les Paul Goldtop pays tribute to the legendary Sergio Vallin, lead shredder for Spanish rock group Maná - and it's an absolutely killer LP. With its snarling custom shop pickups, comfy "C" shaped neck, and stunning Murphy Lab Aged Goldtop finish, this axe is perfect for professional rockers and collectors alike.
Crafted with a mahogany body and a plain maple top, the Sergio Vallin Les Paul projects a gorgeous tone with dark lows, punchy mids, and a spankin' top-end. This LP weighs in at only 8 lbs. 7 oz., making it lighter for a Les Paul and incredibly comfortable for all-night gigs and extended practice sessions. Players will love riffing on its '59 "C" shaped mahogany neck that feels impeccable in hand - not too thick, not too thin - and velvety-smooth 22 fret rosewood fingerboard. It doesn't just play great, though - with its Murphy Lab Aged finish, this Les Paul is nearly indistinguishable from a genuine vintage guitar that's seen decades of play.
Powering the '55 Sergio Vallin is a Custom soapbar P-90 in the neck and a Custombucker in the bridge, giving it an extensive palette of rockin' tones. The P-90 in the neck position delivers the perfect blend of warmth and snarl, making it great for both lead and rhythm playing, while the Custombucker pumps out a thick, muscular growl. Blend these two together and run them through an overdriven tube amp, and you'll be taken right back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll.
Complete with a deluxe hardshell case and certificate of Authenticity, this Custom Shop '55 Sergio Vallin Les Paul Goldtop is an excellent choice for classic single-cut enthusiasts and hardcore fans of Maná's Sergio Vallin.
