The use of Korina gives this instrument a distinctive voice and visual identity. Its grain and golden hue highlight the sculpted lines of the Les Paul body shape, while multi-ply binding on both the top and back maintains the sophisticated Custom-level aesthetic. There is no weight relief of any kind, reinforcing a solidbody construction that feels substantial and alive in the hands. The result is an instrument that blends Custom-level refinement with the organic, resonant qualities for which Korina is celebrated.
A Korina neck, carved into a 1950s Chunky D profile, delivers the feel of a vintage instrument, complete with long neck tenon construction for maximum sustain and structural integrity. The solid ebony fretboard features mother-of-pearl block inlays and single-ply binding, offering both a smooth playing surface and an unmistakably upscale look. For a final elegant touch, the headstock displays both the Gibson logo and the iconic Custom split diamond, inlaid in mother-of-pearl with impeccable craftsmanship.
This Les Paul Custom Reissue is powered by a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 humbucker™ pickups. Known for their nuance, clarity, and refined vintage character, these pickups capture the bloom, bite, and harmonic complexity associated with late-50s Patent Applied For Gibson tone. Uncovered Double Classic White bobbins add a bold visual detail, while the traditional control layout of two volume and two tone knobs provides familiar versatility. A three-way toggle switch completes the electronics, making it easy to explore everything from articulate cleans to dynamic overdrive.
Gold hardware underscores the elegant presentation, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, Kluson® Waffleback® tuning machines, and a Stop Bar tailpiece. Black plastics and black Top Hat control knobs maintain the classic Custom look. Every detail has been crafted with care, resulting in a Limited Edition instrument that feels both historic and refreshingly unique.
Each guitar includes a Certificate of Authenticity and comes housed in a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case. This 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue stands as a stunning tribute to Gibson Custom craftsmanship, designed for players and collectors who appreciate tradition, innovation, and the unmistakable flair of Korina."
