The Story

1954 Les Paul Reissue Mahogany Top '59 Aniline Back Dye Finish

We have to pat ourselves on the back for this one. It's a Music Zoo-spec'd '54 Les Paul with a mahogany top, uncovered Custom Bucker pickups and a wraparound tailpiece, all finished with the aniline dye that Gibson Custom uses for the body backs on '59 Les Pauls. It complements the mahogany of the top perfectly. This one is lightweight, resonant, and it just rules.

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