About this listing
DESCRIPTION
The Gibson True Historic series represented the very best of Gibson Custom Shop's vintage reissue programme, with unmatched attention to every detail of the original late-1950s instruments. This particular 2016 True Historic '57 Les Paul Custom is an exceptionally rare example, having been commissioned as a special order for a London retailer, with only two guitars produced in this specification.
Finished in beautifully aged Ebony and featuring a highly unusual single-humbucker configuration, this guitar offers a unique take on the iconic 'Black Beauty' platform. It is currently fitted with a Bare Knuckle humbucker, while the original Gibson PAF-style pickup is included in the sale for collectors seeking complete originality. Combining True Historic construction, Custom Shop craftsmanship and genuine rarity, this is a standout piece for both players and collectors alike.
*Original pickup can be reinstalled upon request!*
