The Story

1957 Les Paul Standard Lightly Aged Ebony

Here's a used (and originally sold by The Music Zoo) '57 Les Paul that looks a bit different than the rest, with its in-house lightly aged All-Ebony finish as opposed to the Goldtop color you would normally find on a 1957 Les Paul. The guitar has aged nickel hardware to fit with the color and patina, and a set of Custom Bucker pickups to provide that classic PAF tone. If you're into chunky necks and black Les Pauls: this is the guitar for you! The guitar is in excellent condition with all wear appearing original to how Gibson intended it to look! The original case and COA are included.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags
