2011Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Reissue Goldtop VOS

Fit, finish and feel, join together with just the right elements to make the perfect Les Paul for dirty Blues and Rock'n Roll! It's the best of the 50s in one awesome Les Paul.

With 2 HONKIN' P-90 single coil pickups, a carved Maple top, single-ply cream binding, a fat 50's rounded neck, a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard, vintage tulip tuners and an Antique Gold VOS finish, you've got a guitar that's bursting out in every way to please.

The ABR-1 was added to the Les Paul Model in 1956 with individual saddles to adjust each string's length as well as thumbwheels to adjust the overall height of the bridge. This represented a quantum leap forward in intonation and a marked improvement in tone and sustain.

P-90's offer a distinctive sound, particularly when used on a maple and mahogany guitar. The guitar rings out natural harmonics and sounds incredible distorted. It also has a beautiful clean tone. There's a bit of extra bite to the sound, a far less muddy tone and the sustain is awesome! And, with the long neck tenon and the original chunky '50s rounded neck profile, which is historically accurate, it lets you really lean into the neck and dig in for the best tone. The neck thickness measures .902 at the 1st fret and 1.009 at the 12th.
