1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom

Check out this gorgeous, no issues 1956 Gibson Les Paul Custom! Black is beautiful, gentlemen!

This lightweight (3816gr!!) Black Beauty will blow you away. Lovely P90, monster alnico on neck. No repairs, touchups, refins, nothing. All hardware is original, tuners, etc. Pots were changed long time ago (probably factory work due to the impeccable soldering, I have never seen such a clean job), and it does have a fantastic refret, no fretless wonder action but can indeed be adjusted very low. Bumblebee capacitors and knobs are original. In fact, everything else is (poker chip, amber tip, etc.).

Full 50’s neck, not slim but not super huge.

No funky stuff, lovely ebony board, includes original Gibson case (black exterior with yellow interior).

Not easy to find such a lightweight Les Paul Custom that’s this clean and sweet sounding, with no issues except the replaced pots.
