The Story

1956 Les Paul Reissue Chambered Sapphire Blue Top

Vintage '56 P-90 tones and a custom-color look! This is an incredibly cool Made 2 Measure 1956 Les Paul given a Sapphire Blue sparkle finish to the top with the rest of the body left natural. We wanted something lightweight and easy to play, so this one features a chambered mahogany body - coming out to only 7 lbs, 2 oz!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
