Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Standard – VOS
Glimmering Gold and Sparkling P-90 Pickups
1956 was the only full year in which the Les Paul model featured the powerful P-90 pickups and the adjustable ABR-1 bridge setup, a combination that allowed the Les Paul model to intonate, sustain, and thrill like never before. This Gibson Custom Shop '56 Reissue captures the look, feel and searing sound of an original 1956 Les Paul Goldtop in exhaustive detail, featuring all solid woods, custom paint, authentic replica parts, Historic narrow/tall frets, and hot hide glue construction.
