Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1998 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul ’56 Historic Reissue finished in the iconic All Gold look. This model captures the vibe of the mid-’50s Goldtop era—fat, punchy, and incredibly responsive—wrapped in that timeless gold finish that just screams vintage Gibson. If you’re after classic Custom Shop feel and old-school Les Paul character, this one absolutely delivers.

This guitar is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Hardshell Case (OHSC).

Condition is rated at 9.8/10 – Excellent. There is light finish checking that adds great vintage character, along with a small chip on the bass side of the headstock. You’ll also find one super tiny ding on the top by the low E string, some light wear on the back bottom edge, and some light scratches on the back—all purely cosmetic and consistent with careful use. No cracks, breaks, or repairs.
