The Original Black Beauty

Gibson Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and tonal excellence. The 1957 Les Paul Custom is one of the most iconic guitars ever made, featuring a single solid mahogany body and a bright-sounding solid ebony fingerboard. Its rich midrange tone, elegant Ebony/Pearl/Gold aesthetic, and authentic detailing make it the ultimate expression of Gibson’s legendary design and heritage.
