Gibson Custom 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul
Back in 1955, Gibson was preparing a small batch of unique instruments to display at the upcoming NAMM show in Chicago, IL. Displaying at NAMM is a super prestigious event in the music industry calendar, so Gibson sure was looking to impress! That year, Gibson displayed five distinctive Les Paul models finished in one of five custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes. These distinctive-looking instruments were unlike anything ever produced by Gibson and certainly caught the eye of everyone who attended the show. Sadly, these original guitars and finishes were soon lost to the Gibson archives, in fact, the whereabouts of only a few of these guitars are known.
In celebration of the 70th anniversary of these rare guitars, our friends at Gibson Custom are proud to present the 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul. This special run is limited to only 70 guitars in each of the five custom colours, with the five custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes expertly recreated by Gibson for the first time ever.
Order from Peach Guitars for free next day UK delivery on all orders over £99.
