This guitar from our friends at the Gibson Custom Shop is truly rare! Part of an exclusive lineup of custom shop models available only to select dealers, it takes the classic '56 Les Paul Standard to the next level with vintage-inspired appointments you wouldn’t typically find on stock models.
This '56 Les Paul Standard Reissue exudes serious "Old Black" vibes with its ebony top, B7 Bigsby, and P-90 in the neck position. To top it off, it received Murphy Lab’s stunning artist-grade light aging, giving it the feel and playability of a well-worn vintage instrument.
The lightweight mahogany body keeps the total weight at just 8.8 lbs, which is pretty impressive considering the added heft of the Bigsby vibrato.
Overall, this is an exceptional instrument—probably one of the finest Les Pauls ever to come through Quimper Sound Records & Guitars!
