The Story

1956 Les Paul Made 2 Measure Black over Gold 2020

Originally spec'd and sold by the Zoo - this '56 is back to find itself a new home! The original case and certificate of authenticity are included. It's got some light playwear around the body in addition to the aging. An ode to an incredibly famous Les Paul played on timeless Rock recordings and stages around the world, this is a Gibson Custom Shop Made 2 Measure '56 Les Paul spec'd out by The Music Zoo with a black over gold aged finish. The most notable features besides the finish on this guitar are the nickel covered P-90 in the neck with a bright and brash Firebird pickup in the bridge, as well as Bigsby tailpiece for all of your vibrato needs. The guitar is super fun to play, and is sure to be a great addition to the collection of anyone who covets the famous guitars of Rock and Roll history.
