Brand spankin' new, never owned, this 2008 Custom Shop recreation is very rare! HANDBUILT in Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic Division with a beautiful DARK BACK! Normally, that's a $400 upcharge. She comes complete with the Gibson Historic Hardshell case, COA, hang tags, CTS pots and Burstbucker pickups times 2, the closest yet to the original PAFs! She IS a 1957 Les Paul, FAT AND POWERFUL and LIGHTWEIGHT, TOO! Weighing in at 9 lbs. SHE IS SUPER RESONATE, LIGHT ON YOUR BACK AND A TRUE BEAUTY WITH A SOLID DARK MAHOGANY BACK AND NECK, a carved maple top, a classy Gold finish, every detail just as it was in the '50s. She has a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard based on a 12" radius with a 24 3/4" scale length, and a nut width of 11 1/16". Neck inlays copy the original trapezoid design, and binding on the neck is narrow - as it was in the '50s. She has the Holly Head Veneer, Non-Weight Relieved Body and EXTRA LONG NECK TENON, combined with the separate bridge/tailpiece ABR-1 stop tailpiece and Burstbucker pickups which yields better sustain and quieter yet more powerful tone. She's a CANNON with a fat early 50s neck and a huge midrange honk!
