This 1988 Gibson 1956 Reissue Les Paul Showcase Edition is a rare and historically significant guitar, blending vintage-inspired craftsmanship with rock and roll provenance. Featuring a goldtop finish, P-90 pickups, and period-correct specs, it captures the essence of the original '56 Les Paul. Adding to its legacy, this guitar was owned by Brad Whitford of Aerosmith and personally signed by the legendary Les Paul himself—an extraordinary piece for collectors and players alike. Includes the original hardshell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
