The Gibson Custom Shop do some pretty special stuff, whether it be Re-issues of our favourites guitars of years gone by, or turning dream guitars into reality. The Gibson Custom Shop can do it all. New within the world of Gibson custom we are super excited to present the "Murphy Lab", an all new division dedicated to the art of innovation who are highly skilled in ageing guitars using the latest and most sophisticated technology and tools. Headed by legendary builder "Tom Murphy", these guitars are the pinnacle of Gibson

An iconic guitar with an iconic story, the Gibson Les Paul is the legacy of legendary guitarist and guitar innovator Les Paul. What started as a personal mission back in the late '40s has developed in to arguably the most revered electric guitar model of all time.

This Gibson '57 Les Paul Custom is the ultimate way to experience what makes the Les Paul so special. With a solid Mahogany body, the Custom is finished in stunning Light Aged Ebony with Aged Gold hardware. I think it's fair to say it's a real eye catcher.

The Mahogany neck boasts a Chunk "C" profile, 24.75" scale length, an Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl block inlays; it feels perfectly balanced and poised, just as a Les Paul should. With the period correct long neck tenon and hide glue fit, this guitar delivers incredible sustain and resonance.

The Les Paul Custom is loaded with a trio of (unpotted) Custombucker Alnico III humbucker pickups. These humbuckers deliver that authentic tone that only a Les Paul can produce. The real crowing feature of this beauty is the Bigsby Tailpiece, allowing for great stability and vibrato.

A real powerhouse, this Gibson Les Paul Custom comes complete with Gibson hardcase for great protection at home and on the road.
