The Gibson 1957 Reissue Les Paul is one of the most revered Custom Shop models ever made—celebrated for its fat, singing sustain, legendary ’50s feel, and unmistakable Les Paul authority. This preloved 1996 ’57 Reissue in a striking Candy Red re-finish is a standout example, offering vintage-inspired tone and premium Custom Shop craftsmanship with serious stage appeal!
Built to capture the golden-era Les Paul recipe, the ’57 Reissue is all about rich midrange, warm lows, and articulate highs that stay musical whether you’re clean, edge-of-breakup, or pushing into thick overdrive. With its classic single-cut design and historic-style construction, this guitar is perfect for blues, rock, and anyone chasing that iconic late-’50s voice.
The pots and internal harness have been replaced. The pickups are consistent with Custom Shop Historic pickups of this era.
This piece was originally purchased by the Big Boss guitar shop in Japan. Paperwork included from Gibson factory as well as the original Japanese import docs. Pickguard and screws included in the case.
