The Story

Used 2012 One-Off Chambered 1-Pickup 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue Electric Guitar Ebony

This is a stripped down ’57 Les Paul Custom made in 2012 with a chambered body, great for playing on stage for extended periods of time without the associated Les Paul Custom backache. This guitar was a one-off by the Custom Shop, and built to ’57 specs with a mahogany body and chunky ‘50s mahogany neck, block and split diamond headstock inlays, and gold hardware. The previous owner installed a four-conductor Seymour Duncan SH-5 Custom humbucker, along with schaller strap lock buttons, and replaced the truss rod cover with a blank Gibson Historic cover.

The guitar is great shape with some minor players wear around the body – small nicks on the body, arm wear on the binding, a small nick in the middle of the neck (not down to the wood), and a small chip on the back of the headstock – all cosmetics that don’t affect the feel of the Les Paul.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Schaller Strap Locks
