The Gibson Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and tonal excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through precision, authenticity, and an unmatched attention to detail. With its elegant lines and striking ebony/pearl/gold aesthetic, the 1957 Les Paul Custom is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars ever made. It features a body carved from a single large piece of solid mahogany — a unique feature among Les Paul models. The resulting rich, dark midrange pairs beautifully with the clear articulation of the solid ebony fretboard. Overall, this is the ultimate expression of craftsmanship, design, and tone in a guitar.
The Gibson Custom Shop is proud to revive every detail of the original “Black Beauty” for this 1957 Les Paul Custom reissue — from its precise dimensions and curves to its historically accurate inlays and player experience.
