For your consideration is this stunning 2003 Gibson Custom Shop ’54 Reissue, finished in a truly one-of-a-kind hand-painted Surf graphic. This is not your typical reissue — the custom artwork gives this guitar serious visual impact while retaining all the vintage-inspired tone and feel the ’54 models are known for.

Overall condition is Very Good. This instrument was originally purchased for a collection rather than regular use, and it shows. The finish remains vibrant, hardware is clean, and the guitar presents beautifully. There is little evidence of handling, and the frets show no noticeable wear.

Tonally, this guitar absolutely delivers. The original factory P-90 pickups produce everything you’d expect from a classic ’54-style build: warm, articulate cleans, rich midrange, and that unmistakable P-90 bite when pushed. Whether you're playing blues, rock, jazz, or anything in between, this guitar has exceptional clarity and character.

Playability is excellent, with comfortable low action and a smooth, effortless feel across the fretboard. The neck has that classic Custom Shop craftsmanship — substantial yet comfortable, perfect for both rhythm and lead work.

• 2003 Gibson Custom Shop ’54 Reissue

Condition, Shipping, & Setup Details:

I specialize in selling pre-owned guitars, which typically show signs of regular use. My commitment to quality is unwavering, and I ensure that any guitar I offer for sale is free from problems, unless explicitly mentioned. With a history of selling guitars dating back to the 1980s, I pride myself on selecting only the finest instruments.

It's important to understand that our shipping fees encompass more than just the cost of the box. I guarantee professional packaging using UPS-approved materials to safeguard your purchase. This typically includes new, heavy-duty boxes rated at 275lbs, 3-inch wide brown fiberglass reinforced tape, ensuring the guitar is well-protected. Additionally, every guitar shipped is fully insured for its sale price.

The guitars are set up according to my personal preferences (Medium Height), and I strictly avoid guitars with neck issues. However, guitar setup is highly subjective, and it is advisable to have it adjusted by a trusted local technician who understands your specific playstyle and preferences.
