Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Sunburst 54 Reissue "Two screaming P-90 pickups, a wraparound bridge, and a Sunburst finish—that's all that plenty of legendary players ever needed to get the job done, and it's all packed in here in greater detail than ever before in the1954 Les Paul Sunburst Reissue from Gibson's Custom Shop. The sunburst Les Paul Standards of 1958-’60 may grab most of the attention, but for some of the true tone hounds out there, the 1954 Les Paul Model embodies raw blues and rock'n'roll more than any other guitar on the planet. From Carl Perkins' recordings of “Honey Don't” and “Blue Suede Shoes” to Freddie King's “Hideaway”, a Les Paul was there, rippin’ it up and making musical history in the process.Marrying a solid, lightweight mahogany back to a carved maple top was the first stroke of genius, and established the most legendary tonewood combination in the history of electric guitar manufacturing. With the addition of the wraparound bridge in late '53/early '54, the Les Paul had arrived, and it has never looked back." - Gibson GuitarsThe thin Vintage Antique nitrocellulose lacquer finish is wet sanded by hand for a vintage style look and feel. Softer vintage edge profiles throughout, including the fingerboard edges and body binding edges give the guitar an extremely comfortable feel. This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul is in Great Condition with some light surface scratches on the top and headstock as well as a good bit of buckle rash on the back of the guitar. We have attempted to capture some of this in the detailed photos posted below. Includes Hardshell Case.Features :Features :
