Features and construction

Body and neck of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom 3PU Bigsby Ebony Light Aged was made from a solid piece of mahogany, which gives it the soft colored sustain typical of Les Paul. The neck is made to classic specifications in a Chunky-C profile with a 22-fret ebony fingerboard. Perloid block fretboard inlays, Kluson waffleback tun ers and cream-colored Multy Ply binding add absolute accents alongside the gold Hardware. But the heart of the equipment are three Custombuckerswith Alnico III Polescrews and a Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece, with which the 1957 Les Paul Custom can be made to sing.

Kluson waffleback tuners hold the six strings of the 1957 Les Paul Custom in a stable position and make tunings easy to implement.

Hardware and Finish with Murphy Lab Aging Treatment

In addition to construction and sound, the coherent overall concept of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom 3PU Bigsby Ebony Light Aged includes successful aging, which provides the right look and feel. For this the Gibson Custom Shop relies on the experts at Murphy Lab, which skillfully applies a Light Aged treatment to both the nitrocellulose finish and the nickel-plated hardware appointments of the 1957 Les Paul. The result is an aged, yet amazingly well-maintained instrument with minimal signs of wear that will continue to accumulate authentic playing marks over time.
