The Story

1957 Les Paul Extra Special Made 2 Measure Aniline Cherry VOS

The latest in Music Zoo original Made 2 Measure guitars: this is a '57 Les Paul Special that we're dubbing the "Extra Special". We took the slab mahogany body platform of the '57 Special and juiced it up with a set of Custom Bucker pickups and trapezoid inlays like you would get on a Les Paul Standard. The result is a guitar that's just the right amount of noticeable Gibson aesthetics without the flash of a maple top. It's subtle in looks and feels awesome with its chunky '57 neck profile and hits hard with the Custom Buckers and ABR-1 bridge. Pick this one up from the only place that will have it - The Music Zoo!

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