Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1954 Reissue Les Paul Limited Edition

Washed Washed Cherry

You don't have to be a southern legend to appreciate the sound and soul of the '54 Les Paul Gold Top. This guitar has all that FAT P-90 BITE BUT WITHOUT THE HUM! For blues and early rock you just can't beat this guitar. Dickey Betts, Duane Alman, Freddie King, David Gilmour, Muddy Waters, Mike Bloomfield, Steve Miller, Jimmy Page, Neil Young, Joe Walsh, Jeff Beck, Carl Perkins, Rick Derringer, Frank Zappa, Eric Clapton, Keith Urban, Keith Richards and Blind Owl Wilson have all had the fever for that P-90 sound. Mix that P-90 crunch with a chunky mahogany neck and you've really got a guitar that GROWLS!

This Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1954 Les Paul Limited Run electric guitar is a wonderful reproduction that offers supreme tone and playability. This classic Gibson Les Paul features a carved maple top, a mahogany back, one-piece mahogany neck with long neck tenon, an early '50s rounded neck profile, 24-3/4" scale length, and a 1-11/16" nut width. It is highlighted with cream binding on the body and on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Its finer appointments include nickel hardware, trapezoidal inlays, pearl Gibson logo headstock inlay, and vintage tulip-head Kluson tuners. This guitar is equipped with dual Gibson P-90 pickups that offer a snappy, slightly gritty response, with a chunky midrange, firm lows, and sweet, musical highs. The P-90 was the standard pickup on all Gibson guitars in the late 1940s and into the 1950s and because of its crisp, bright tone it has experienced resurgence in popularity with many of today's modern rockers. In the bridge position, the P-90 packs plenty of snarly cutting power, while in the neck position it can be surprisingly rich and refined. You'll find that the P-90s' high output and biting treble has more nuanced harmonic coloring than the typical single-coil pickup. The P90's sound great clean or with some overdrive/distortion. When distorted they have a real nasty growl which is great for a gritty dirty and bluesy type sound. Roll back the volume and it's clean, Jazzy and big.

This guitar weighs in at 8 lbs 12.5 oz. She's super light, light on your back and super resonant. The thickness of the neck measures .924 at the first fret and .989 at the 12th. This guitar is 100% MINT AS NEW UNPLAYED UNOWNED PERFECT AND AWESOME! The finish is perfect and polished just like it should be. The guitar comes complete with the Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Hang Tags, Paperwork and MOJO!

Feel the Power!The Power of the Paul!
