Gibson 1954 Les Paul Custom Staple Pickup Reissue VOS Electric Guitar, Ebony

With its sonic punch, fluid playability, and classic “Black Beauty” appointments, the 1954 Les Paul Custom Staple Pickup Reissue VOS is equal parts elegance and brute strength. As did the first Les Paul Customs, it has a solid single-piece, carved-top mahogany body that delivers a warmth and midrange unlike any maple-topped Les Paul. And like the originals, it’s fitted with a matched P-90 pickup set (with Gibson’s rare and coveted “Staple” pickup in the neck position) that takes you from chimey, articulate rhythms to biting leads — the original recipe for rich, sustaining, articulate tone that slices right through the mix. This majestic beast is ultra-responsive to your touch with a satisfying neck profile and smooth-as-silk bound ebony fingerboard that facilitates the speedy, dexterous fretwork we’ve heard from prog, fusion, and hard rock Les Paul Custom virtuosos such as Robert Fripp, Al Di Meola, and Zakk Wylde. Meticulously handcrafted for historical accuracy by Gibson’s elite Custom Shop luthiers, the 1954 Les Paul Custom Staple Pickup Reissue VOS is destined to be a cherished heirloom instrument — and a guitar you’ll want to play every day.
