The Gibson Custom Shop has a longstanding tradition of reissuing specific models of 1950’s and ‘60s electric guitars. The Music Zoo has a longstanding tradition of taking our favorite features of specific models and combining them to make something new and different. Combine the fine craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop and our Music Zoo tweaker tendencies and we present the Zoo Select series. One-off ideas of ours created by the Gibson Custom Shop to our specifications, whether it is a custom neck profile, a specific burst over a certain type of top wood, or a unique pickup combination. After all, the Gibson Custom Shop is in fact – a custom shop.
Different than the usual red sunburst finishes, we decided to give this Les Paul Standard a trans purple finish over a beautifully flamed maple top and natural brown stained mahogany body. The neck is dulled down a bit gloss-wise for a smoother feel, and the pickups are two uncovered zebra '57 Classics. Call it the one-necked, two-humbucker'd, flying purple riffer eater!
