From Gibson: "The 1956 Les Paul™ has long been celebrated for its unmistakable voice, effortless playability, and timeless silhouette. This Limited Edition reimagining from Gibson Custom takes that heritage even further, blending vintage character with bespoke detailing drawn from years of Made to Measure custom orders and the creativity of the Custom Shop artisans in Nashville, Tennessee. Finished entirely in All Double Gold and Light Aged by the Murphy Lab, this exceptional Les Paul captures the look, sound, and feel of a treasured original from Gibson’s first Golden Age.Its solid mahogany body and carved maple top deliver the resonance and sustain that define the Les Paul experience, complemented by a Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish that introduces subtle checking, gentle wear, and the unmistakable presence of a guitar that has lived onstage for decades. The gold finish extends beyond the body and top, carried through to the hardware for a refined, cohesive aesthetic not typically seen on 1956 Les Paul Reissues. From the ABR 1 Tune O Matic™ bridge to the Stop Bar tailpiece, every metallic detail gleams in gold, providing a distinctive appearance that sets this model firmly apart.A mahogany neck carved to a 1950s Chunky D Profile offers a confident, period-correct feel, paired with a rosewood fingerboard featuring single-ply binding, aged cellulose trapezoid inlays, and narrow/tall frets that invite articulate bends and expressive phrasing. The long neck tenon construction ensures exceptional resonance and stability, allowing the guitar to ring with remarkable clarity and authority.At the heart of its tone are two P-90 single-coil pickups, delivering the dynamic response, vocal midrange, and touch sensitivity that defined the early Les Paul models. Whether pushed into rich, harmonically saturated overdrive or dialed back for shimmering cleans, these P 90s respond instantly to the nuances of the player’s hands. Independent volume and tone controls, along with a three-way toggle switch, complete the familiar, intuitive control layout.Cream Soapbar pickup covers, cream plastics, gold Top Hat knobs, and Kluson® Deluxe tuners round out the period correct details, while a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity affirm its place within the Gibson Custom Limited Edition Collection. Crafted as a tribute to an iconic era, yet unique within the Custom Shop catalog, this All Double Gold 1956 Les Paul Reissue stands as a striking expression of tradition, artistry, and individuality."This guitar is brand new.
