PRESALE: Gibson Custom Limited Edition 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue VOS - Antique Natural
This Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue, VOS, Antique Natural, is a rare expression of one of Gibson’s most iconic designs. Part of the Limited Edition Collection, it reflects years of Made-to-Measure demand and craftsmanship from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville.
This model reimagines the classic 1957 Les Paul Custom with a Korina body and top, finished in Antique Natural VOS nitrocellulose lacquer. The Korina construction highlights the grain and natural color of the wood while maintaining the traditional Les Paul Custom aesthetic with multi-ply binding on the top and back. The guitar features solid body construction with no weight relief.
The Korina neck is carved into a 1950s Chunky D profile and features long tenon construction. The ebony fingerboard includes block inlays and binding. The headstock features the Gibson logo and Custom split diamond inlay.
The guitar is equipped with Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups in both the neck and bridge positions. The control layout includes two volume and two tone controls along with a three-way toggle switch.
Gold hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, Stop Bar tailpiece, and Kluson Waffleback tuning machines. Black plastics and black Top Hat knobs complete the standard Les Paul Custom appointments.
Each instrument includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifton reissue hardshell case.
