Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Custom VOS - Ebony Electric Guitar w/ Hardshell Case
1-piece Mahogany Body, Carved Mahogany Top, Ebony Fingerboard, Alnico V and P-90 Single-coil Pickups

Sweetwater commissioned Gibson Custom to do a limited run of 25 reissue guitars to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Les Paul Custom. The Les Paul Custom was the first guitar to receive the soon-to-be-famous Tune-o-matic (ABR-1) bridge. Other Les Paul touches you know and love are here, including the non-weight-relieved one-piece mahogany body, the carved mahogany top, the long neck tenon, ebony fretboard, and a genuine rounded early-'50s neck profile. Holding the Gibson Custom 1954 Anniversary Les Paul Custom VOS is like stepping 60 years back in time.

The Gibson Custom 1954 Anniversary Les Paul Custom VOS's fat '54 profile neck is the Holy Grail for many Les Paul players who prefer chunky necks. If you're in this camp, those '60s SlimTaper necks aren't for you. Wrapping your fretting hand around a juicy tree trunk of a neck is the real deal. If you're a fan of early Les Pauls, then you'll love the Gibson Custom 1954 Anniversary Les Paul Custom VOS.

Warm and creamy, shiny and full of life, the bridge P-90 in this Gibson Custom 1954 Anniversary Les Paul Custom VOS guitar captures the very essence of the classic pre-PAF P-90. Roll back the tone, keep the volume in check, and you've got access to the liquid jazz lines Les Paul himself liked to play, or open it up full throttle and tap into the slightly rude and gritty tone it has to offer. The Alnico V pickup (also known as the "staple" pickup) was developed in 1954, born from the tradition of the P-90, but with a clearer, brighter, more precise tone - one many guitarists still prefer today. It's hard to find, but the Sweetwater-exclusive Gibson Custom 1954 Anniversary Les Paul Custom VOS has one in the neck position.
