{"product_id":"03-2800005659610","title":"[SN 0 1590] USED GIBSON CUSTOM \/ Historic Collection 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue VOS Ebony [03]","description":"We’ve just received a very rare 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue from 2011!\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is a reissue of the “Les Paul Custom,” known as the “Black Beauty.” Designed with the concept of a solid-body guitar that pairs well with a tuxedo, it features a luxurious black finish with gold hardware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAlthough models from this year were typically equipped with Burstbuckers as standard, the unit we’ve received features a “Custombucker”—a configuration that is extremely rare for models from this year.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile the Custombucker has been standard across the Historic Collection since 2013, it first appeared in the limited-edition “Eric Clapton ‘Beano’ Les Paul” released in 2011—the very year the Custombucker was introduced. As a result, this is a model with specifications that are typically unavailable.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt features a mahogany body and neck, paired with a high-quality ebony fingerboard. Its appeal lies in the exquisite balance between the Custom Bucker’s signature quick response to picking and its mellow, warm high-end tone—a characteristic of an all-mahogany guitar.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall, there are signs of wear, including scratches, dents, buckle marks, and tarnish or rust on the hardware. Additionally, there is some paint chipping at the tip of the headstock.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nUnfortunately, the certificate of authenticity and other accessories are missing; however, we have determined the year of manufacture based on a sticker on the back of the pickup labeled “03\/05\/2011,” the included hard case, and the serial number. Given that it is equipped with a Custom Backer and has a unique serial number, it is believed to be a shop-order model from that era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile it shows moderate signs of wear, the neck is in good condition and the frets have about 70% of their original depth remaining, so it is still in excellent playing condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis is an extremely rare and exceptionally fortunate collector’s piece in the history of Gibson!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* Please note that due to the nature of this item, we are unable to transfer it between stores.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 0 1590\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 2011\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: United States\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 4.26 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; rod movement tested up to 60 degrees left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nRemaining Fret Life: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString Action (Treble Side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 42.3 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 22.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 25.1 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment, fret leveling\u003cbr\u003e \nOther: Certificate of Authenticity Missing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
