The Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Special Reissue is a vintage-inspired guitar with a powerful, punchy sound. Featuring a retro TV Yellow finish, a howlin' pair of P-90 pickups, and a comfortable mahogany neck, this guitar is tailor-made for musicians seeking a top-of-the-line Gibson that's great for rock, blues, and anything that needs some old-school sizzle.
The '57 Les Paul Special Reissue is an outstanding instrument that exudes quality from top to bottom. Its solid mahogany body provides a strong tonal foundation with exceptional sustain, while the '59 LP Medium "C"-shaped neck plays with a nice, classic feel. The Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment gives it a well-loved appearance with subtle finish checking, while the cream fingerboard binding, black top hat knobs, and tortoiseshell side dots create an eye-catching '50s appeal.
For a historically accurate tone, the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Special Reissue has a pair of P-90 soapbar pickups. Thanks to their underwound design, they have a clear, articulate sound with slightly scooped mids, allowing them to cut through the mix and ring out with remarkable clarity.
There's something extraordinary about a '50s Les Paul with P-90 pickups, and the Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Special Reissue doesn't disappoint. It's a retro masterpiece born for the stage, ready to stick by your side and dish out rich, snarling riffs with the same style and spirit as an authentic vintage Gibson.
