1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom – Ebony “Black Beauty”

1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom – Ebony “Black Beauty”

Clean 1957 Gibson Les Paul Custom in excellent condition. First year with 3 original PAF humbuckers and with a factory stoptail! Very clean example, one of the cleanest we had so far. The guitar has some minor play wear and is all original. There was a tremolo installed at some point and there are 3 screw holes around the lower strap pin – but no holes drilled on the top! There are only 2 spots from the tremolo felt visible under blacklight. Under normal light it’s totally invisible. The guitar has been refretted with Jumbo frets (original frets come in case) and there is a lower ring installed in the middle for better playability. Original M69 comes in the case. Other than that everything is untouched and original. It comes from a collection and hasn’t been played a lot – but it sounds as you could expect when you see it: just beautiful. The PAF humbuckers have great matching outputs, the action is low and the neck is a bit on the bigger side but it feels just right. It’s also pretty lightweight with 4,3kg. Great guitar in collector’s condition with original case and strap.
