Personal Thoughts

This Hand-Picked '50s Les Paul is one of only 81 made and features a seriously jaw-dropping Bookmatched flame top. 

Commissioned by Guitar Guitar, these were put together with some of the best tops Gibson had to offer, making them stand out even among Custom Shop models.

The Carmelita neck carve is a huge plus—it’s got that ideal late '50s profile, full but not overly chunky, with rolled fingerboard edges that give it a smooth, broken-in feel. This one is particularly resonant, with fantastic sustain and a really balanced tone. The Custombucker pickups deliver that full-bodied vintage PAF magic, with just the right amount of bite and warmth.

At 9.1 LBS, it’s in that perfect weight range for a solid mahogany Les Paul—substantial enough to sustain beautifully, but not a boat anchor.

Condition Report

This one is in mint condition. Frets, hardware, and electronics are all pristine, and it comes with the original brown/pink case, COA, and all tags.

Final Thoughts

This is a properly special Les Paul—the chevron top, hand-picked woods, Carmelita carve, and True Historic plastics and parts make it one of the most dialed-in '50s reissues you’ll find. If you’re after a vintage-inspired Les Paul with unreal tone and aesthetics, this is a killer example.
