1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. This Gibson Custom Shop '56 Reissue captures the look, feel and searing sound of an original 1956 Les Paul Goldtop in exhaustive detail, featuring all solid woods, vintage-accurate gold paint, authentic replica parts, Historic narrow/tall frets, and hot hide glue construction.
This is a USED instrument in VERY GOOD condition. There are pick-scratches on the upper bout above the pickups from where you strum from playing, and a few dings on the bottom of the guitar. This is a nitrocellulose lacquer RELIC finish with some player wear. If you have any questions feel free to stop by or give us a call at (217) 607-8132.
