The Story

True Historic 1954 Les Paul Custom Reissue Electric Guitar Ebony

"Make it look like a tuxedo..." said Les Paul to Gibson - and thus, the Les Paul Custom was born. Here's as close to a vintage '54 as you can get, a True Historic 1954 Les Paul Custom. This guitar has an ebony finish, a P-90 bridge and Alnico V neck pickup, gold hardware, and an ABR-1 bridge (which first appeared in 1954). The Alnico V pickup is based on the P-90, however with its adjustable pole pieces it was designed to give more growl and note definition, a great asset in the neck position for rhythm playing. The '54 Custom is a class act of an instrument that is sure to turn both eyes and ears in the attention it demands.

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