The Story

1956 Les Paul with Mini Humbuckers Made 2 Measure Ultra Aged Natural

A '56 Les Paul - but tweaked with some '70s style! This is a Zoo-Spec Made 2 Measure '56 Les Paul in a Natural finish and given an Ultra Light Aged treatment by the Murphy Lab. That includes some hardware patina and lacquer checking, but no finish removal or bare wood. The guitar goes '70s Hard Rock with a pair of bright and articulate Gibson Mini Humbuckers and a set of Schaller tuners. Plug this one into your favorite amp and let those pickups sing!

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