Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of this Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Standard, a Made to Measure creation from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, designed to replicate the iconic 1956 Les Paul with a unique twist. Typically seen in the classic Double Gold finish top with a Natural back, this Limited Edition guitar was custom-ordered with a rare, all-over Double Gold - bringing a premium level of prestige and opulence. This luxurious aesthetic is extended even further with the matching gold hardware, every detail gleaming in gold - this is not your average Les Paul. With the Light Ageing by the esteemed Murphy Lab, this guitar has the authentic feel of a genuine collector's piece.
This 1956 Les Paul Standard features a solid Mahogany body with a carved maple top, delivering the warm, resonant tone that defined the era. The Mahogany neck, with a '50s Chunky D-shaped profile, is paired with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard featuring cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, a 12" radius, and 22 historic narrow/tall frets, offering a comfortable, vintage feel that's ideal for players who prefer thicker necks. Equipped with two Custom Soapbar P-90 pickups, this guitar captures the pre-PAF tone of the original '56 Les Paul - warm, creamy, and full of life, with a fat snarl when pushed, perfect for jazz, blues, and rock. The gold ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge ensures excellent intonation and sustain, while vintage-style Kluson tuners, a 1-ply cream pickguard, and gold knobs complete the authentic look.
