The GIBSON Custom Shop Limited Edition LE 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue Korina is a reinterpretation of this legendary electric guitar, ideal for enthusiasts of authentic vintage tones.

Overview

Introduced in 1953 and upgraded with P.A.F. humbucking pickups in 1957, the Gibson Les Paul Custom has evolved through a series of iconic models. The Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition features a Korina body, an ebony fingerboard, a VOS Antique Natural finish, and open-coil pickups, giving it a unique look and sound.

A Prestigious Wood for Clear, Nuanced Tones

Korina, recognized for its acoustic superiority, is prized in the manufacture of high-end instruments. With a higher density than classic mahogany, it brings exceptional clarity to the guitar’s sound.

Precision craftsmanship for unmatched performance

Each Les Paul Custom Reissue is crafted with impeccable expertise, including:

• Laser-scanned dimensions based on historic models for maximum authenticity
• Body and neck glued from solid Korina with a “Long Neck Tenon” joint
• Solid ebony fingerboard for optimal playability
• Hand-wound Alnico III Custom Buckers, faithfully reproducing the tones of vintage P.A.F. pickups

This attention to detail ensures an authentic vintage feel and a warm, punchy, and nuanced tone, all while using “Hot Hide Glue,” a traditional choice that facilitates maintenance and repairs.
