The classic "Black Beauty" recreated for the 21st century.
With elegant lines and classic aesthetic, the 1957 Les Paul Custom is one of the most recognized guitars out there. Featuring a body made of solid mahogany—unique among Les Paul models—this 1957 reissue recreates the original "Black Beauty" in breathtaking detail. From the dimensions and contours to the precise inlay patterns and three Custombucker Alnico III pickups for that loud, fat Les Paul sound, this Les Paul Custom Reissue is also lightly aged with the Murphy Lab aging process to bring an old-school look to the instrument.
