The Story

1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 2-Pickup Ultra Light Aged Ebony

From the Murphy Lab division of the Gibson Custom Shop, this is the 1957 Les Paul Custom given an Ultra Light Aged treatment to the ebony finish. The Ultra Light aging package gives the guitar a light patina on the hardware and intricate lines of finish checking - no paint is removed from the body or neck. Specs on the '57 Custom are as good as it gets: a mahogany top over a solid mahogany body for big and bold midrange, a hide glue-fitted neck joint, multi-ply body binding and a set of Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers. If you like your Customs with a little bit of vibe jump started out of the case - the Ultra Light Aging package is the way to go.

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