The Story

1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup with Bigsby Ebony VOS

This Les Paul Custom is truly fully loaded - with a triple humbucker configuration and a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece! The '57 saw the Les Paul Custom with a solid mahogany body, no maple top on this one for pure mid-rangey Les Paul Custom tone! The guitar has a triple attack of Custombuckers, and gold hardware to top it all off.

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