The Story

1954 Les Paul Custom Gloss Ebony

This is a Gibson Custom Shop 1954 Les Paul Custom in Gloss Ebony, a not too often seen model. It's one of our absolute favorites for not only the history it holds, but the amazing specs! The '54 was the first guitar to receive the ABR-1 bridge, and features a solid mahogany body with mahogany top, gold hardware, and waffle-back tuners. The pickups which make the '54 unique are the P-90 bridge pickup, and the Alnico V 'Staple' neck pickup. The Staple was based off of the P-90, yet with a brighter and more articulate tone, great for those single-note leads that Les Paul was famous for!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tag and Paperwork
