Tradition-conscious construction

For the construction of the 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue, the Gibson Custom Shop naturally relies on historically correct production methods to guarantee an authentic sound and playing experience. The classically designed singlecut body is made in one piece from mahogany, whereby the careful selection of wood ensures a pleasantly portable weight. The one-piece mahogany neck is also glued to the long neck foot, which has a positive effect on the resonance and Sustain of the guitar. The "'50s Rounded Medium C" neck profile, which is not too thick, sits comfortably in the hand and promises easy implementation of classic blues and rock techniques. Last but not least, "1950s Pattern" block Inlays made of genuine mother-of-pearl mark the layers of the 22-fret ebony fingerboard.

Three Gibson Custombuckers with historically correct, hand-wired circuitry promise authentic vintage sounds with unmistakable PAF tone color.

Custombucker pickups with hand-wired circuitry

The electrical sound conversion of the 1957 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Reissue is handled by three Gibson Custombucker pickups in the neck, middle and bridge positions. Equipped with Alnico III magnets and non-waxed copper coils, the humbuckers impress with an authentic PAF sound, whose warm mid-range spectrum in combination with the airy highs and organic dynamics skillfully supports expressive electric guitar playing in the genres of blues, rock or jazz. The hand-wired circuit works historically correct and calls up the neck and bridge pickups individually in the outer positions of the Switchcraft switch, while the bridge and middle pickups work together in the middle position. Authentic oil paper capacitors also promise particularly harmonious Treble roll-offs with the tone pots.

The classic Bigsby B7 Vibrato tailpiece not only provides a unique vintage look, but also impresses with its buttery smooth handling for shimmering embellishments of melodies or chords. Behind the nylon nut, the headstock Kluson waffleback tuners with wings made from Pearloid ensure precise and stable tuning.
