The Story

1957 Les Paul Custom Koa Top 2020

This is a '57 unlike any other out there with a gorgeous piece of koa for the top instead of traditional mahogany! This is a used '57 Reissue, built by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2020. The guitar retains a natural finish to show off all of the grain in the koa, and we love the patterns on this piece of wood. The guitar retains every other '57 spec including waffleback tuners and a pair of Gibson Custom Bucker pickups. The original case and COA are included.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
