Renowned for its sleek lines and striking ebony, pearl, and gold styling, the 1957 Les Paul™ Custom stands as one of the most iconic and visually stunning guitars ever created. Crafted from a single solid piece of mahogany—an uncommon feature among Les Paul models—its body produces a rich, dark mid-range tone that beautifully complements the crisp articulation of its solid ebony fingerboard. This combination exemplifies the peak of guitar design, tone, and craftsmanship. The Gibson Custom Shop proudly brings the legendary “Black Beauty” back to life in this meticulous ’57 Les Paul Custom Reissue, faithfully reproducing everything from its contours and dimensions to its intricate inlays and overall ownership experience. It showcases Ultra Light Aging, expertly applied by the Murphy Lab, where the lightly aged finish and hardware recreate the subtle character and feel of a well-preserved original from Gibson’s Golden Era.
