1955 GibsonLes Paul Custom – Black
We love the feel of this 1955 Gibson Les Paul Custom in Black! As with many of these “fretless wonders,” this one has been refretted with vintage-sized frets that vastly improve the overall playability compared to the old frets. Combined with the sizzling tone of these pickups and a solid mahogany body, this guitar absolutely screams! These earlier Les Paul Custom examples feature one P-90 and one Alnico V pickup. The contrast of the patinated binding and stark black finish is just incredible. The remaining parts and finish are completely original, and it even comes in its original case.
