Lee Roy's personal touch from beginning to end
From hand-selecting the wood to final approval of each guitar, Lee Roy Parnell is part of the process in creating each Gibson Custom Lee Roy Parnell Signature '57 Les Paul Goldtop. Many of Lee Roy's personal tweaks to his instrument have been incorporated in this signature model. An extended cutaway gives you better access to the upper frets of the guitar. This cutaway doesn't look any different from the front, but at the back an extra 7-degree back-angled contour has been added for extended access your entire fretboard. The new Big Block cavity leaves more wood in the pickup cavities giving you enhanced resonance and tone.

Custom pickups deliver vintage PAF tone
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to the Gibson Custom Lee Roy Parnell Les Paul's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and NOS capacitors, every part of its internal signal path is designed to give you absolutely dead-on vintage Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Lee Roy Parnell Les Paul sports a pair of Ron Ellis custom-wound humbuckers with PAF attitude and a little extra punch. You just won't find another Les Paul that comes as close to the look, sound, and feel of the Gibson Custom Lee Roy Parnell Signature '57 Les Paul!

Gibson Custom's commitment to quality
Gibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the Lee Roy Parnell Signature '57 Les Paul. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimizes the fretboard and nut for incredibly accurate intonation and a "just right" feel. And little touches like the Big Block cavity, satin-finished neck, and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel, they make the Lee Roy Parnell Signature '57 Les Paul a true custom instrument.
