The Story

1957 Les Paul Standard Made 2 Measure All-Black Single-Pickup

We have two words for this Les Paul! Hell yes! This is a Zoo-spec'd Made 2 Measure '57 Les Paul Standard given the infamous single-pickup treatment and an all-black finish. We love the look of the black top sans pickguard combined with the nickel hardware. Controlling the single Custombucker pickup is a pair of gold tophat volume and tone controls. A chunky neck gives for a very comfortable feel when you're playing. Act fast on this one!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Tremolo Arm
