1957 saw the PAF humbucker become standard issue on the Les Paul Custom, which in keeping with its other upscale appointments came with a choice of either 2 or 3 of these powerful and quiet new pickups. This Black Beauty model with 2 pickups has become one of the most celebrated of all guitars and the choice of numerous top stars. This Custom Shop re-creation is true to the '57 original in every way, from the '50s rounded neck profile to the solid, non-weight relieved mahogany back. Gibson's Custom Shop produces some of the finest electric guitars on earth. Using the best materials money can buy, a staff of skilled luthiers reproduce some of the greatest Gibsons of the past and create stunning new instruments for players and collectors who demand the best.
