Boasts a host of popular player mods
This 1954 Les Paul Reissue VOS isn't a stock, off-the-shelf instrument — it's built to be played! As such, this axe has been lovingly modded similarly to what pro players did to their vintage guitars in decades past, with the goal of giving it modern performance and functionality. For starters, its standard P-90 pickups have been swapped out for a set of Gibson's PAF-voiced Custombuckers. Its hardware has been upgraded with Schaller M6 tuning machines for rock-solid tuning stability, black Speed knobs, and a black pickguard. A flashy VOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish with an exclusive color round out this enviable solidbody electric guitar. To put it laconically — blow by blow, this 1954 Les Paul Reissue VOS is wired for emotion and commotion.
Legendary tone from PAF-style Custombuckers
Guitarists far and wide absolutely adore the Custom Shop Custombucker pickups in this Gibson Custom 1954 Les Paul Reissue VOS. These pickups will let you nail chimey country licks as easily as you dial in searing rock tones. Catnip for tube amplifiers, these Custombuckers deliver classic tone for everything from warm jazz to dirty blues. And, thanks to two tone knobs and two volume knobs, you'll have nearly endless tone-shaping control at your fingertips.
Plek'd to perfection for optimized playability
This 1954 Les Paul Reissue VOS's fingerboard is made of high-grade Indian rosewood, which is inspected and qualified by Gibson experts before it enters the company's factories. It's a resilient and durable premium tonewood, making for a balanced and stable fingerboard and giving each chord and note indelible warmth and definition. Polished and beveled with rolled edges before being bound, the fretboard is given the Plek Pro treatment for fret consistency and smoothness. Plek Pro is a state-of-the-art, computer-guided process that scans, levels, and dresses your guitar's frets to a microscopic level of accuracy for ideal action with no loss of sustain, minimized fret buzz, and no fretting out when bending strings, whether you're playing low or high on the neck. This guitar's Plek'd frets ensure that every note in every position rings loud and clear with unblemished tone.
