This limited-edition Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Reissue pays tribute to one of the most important years in the model's history, combining the unmistakable voice of P-90 pickups with the introduction of the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge.

Finished in an eye-catching All Double Gold and treated with Murphy Lab Light Aging, it captures the appearance and feel of a well-preserved vintage original while adding the premium touches that have made Gibson's Made to Measure instruments so desirable. 

Built with a solid mahogany body, carved maple top, and a chunky 1950s D-profile mahogany neck, this Les Paul delivers the rich sustain and resonance that defined Gibson's Golden Era. The rosewood fingerboard, long neck tenon, and traditional construction methods provide a familiar playing experience, while the Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish and gold hardware give the instrument decades of broken-in character without sacrificing reliability. Custom Soapbar P-90 pickups offer everything from warm, articulate cleans to the raw bite and dynamic response that made the 1956 Les Paul a favorite among players.

Paired with premium electronics and historically accurate appointments throughout, this limited edition is an exceptional recreation of one of Gibson Custom's most celebrated Golden Era instruments.
