Overview

Historic reissue that revives every last detail of the original Black Beauty.

With its elegant lines and ebony/pearl/gold aesthetic, the Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom 3-pickup Reissue VOS left-handed electric guitar is among the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made. It features a body carved out of a single large piece of solid mahogany, unique among Les Paul models. The resulting dark mid-range tone from the body pairs perfectly with its bright-sounding solid ebony fingerboard. Altogether, it’s the pinnacle of guitar craftmanship, design and tone. Gibson Custom Shop revived every last detail of the original “Black Beauty” for this ’57 Les Paul Custom Reissue, from the dimensions and contours to the precise inlay patterns to the entire ownership experience.

  • 1-piece solid mahogany body
  • Chunky C-shape solid mahogany neck, solid ebony fretboard
