This is the Gibson Custom Shop 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul in Platinum. This special run has been made to celebrate the five custom-color Gibson Les Pauls that were displayed at the 1955 NAMM Show. Each color has been replicated and aged perfectly by the Murphy Lab. Only 70 of each exist!
In addition to their custom metallic finishes, they were outfitted with no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridges and Stop Bar tailpieces. These bridges were first introduced on the Gibson Super 400 in 1953 and were used on the 1954 Les Paul Custom, but they made their first appearance on a standard Les Paul model with the five guitars that were displayed at the 1955 NAMM Show. These distinctive-looking and historically notable Les Pauls were made in extremely limited numbers, and the whereabouts of only a few are known today.
