Gibson Custom Select 1957 Les Paul Custom – VOS, Ebony Top & Back with White Sides
This guitar is in mint condition with no visual blemishes to note. Removed from the box for testing and photography only. Electronics work as expected and sound great. Includes the original Gibson hardshell case, certificate of authenticity and all paperwork.
This 1957 Les Paul Custom is part of the Gibson Garage Pro Pick Collection, a curated lineup of unique instruments hand-spec'd by the team at Gibson Garage Nashville through the Gibson Custom Made to Measure program. Built in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop, each instrument features exclusive appointments and carefully selected specifications that set it apart from standard production models.
What makes this example particularly special is its striking Ebony top and back paired with contrasting White sides. Finished in Vintage Original Spec (VOS) nitrocellulose lacquer, this distinctive take on the classic Black Beauty offers a look rarely seen on a '57 Les Paul Custom.
Built to historic specifications, the guitar features a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body without a maple cap, along with a mahogany neck featuring a comfortable 1950s rounded medium-C profile. The bound solid ebony fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, 22 historic medium-jumbo frets, and beautiful 1950s-pattern mother-of-pearl block inlays. A long neck tenon and hot hide glue construction complete the traditional Custom Shop build.
Custom Shop humbucking pickups deliver the rich, powerful tones expected from a classic Les Paul Custom, while the vintage-style ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum tailpiece, and Kluson Waffleback tuners maintain the period-correct appointments.
A particularly distinctive Gibson Custom Select build, this 1957 Les Paul Custom combines historic specifications with an exclusive finish combination that makes it stand out from the crowd.
