This time, we have received a 3-pickup, 1957 specification \"Les Paul Custom\" in Ebony color. Manufactured in 2000, weighing 4.13kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul Custom, a synonymous symbol of rock guitar that captivates guitarists worldwide, is an iconic instrument. The 1957 Les Paul Custom, boasting an elegant form and the beauty of ebony and gold, is one of the most symbolic and beautiful guitars among Gibson guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith its unique all-mahogany body carved from one large piece of mahogany, the Les Paul Custom combines the warm midrange tone with a bright-sounding ebony fingerboard, creating a distinctive sound unique to Customs of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck shape features a thick C-shape that is easy to grip. Following the original specifications, it employs a long tenon design, providing excellent sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\nHardware, including Schaller tuners (which have been replaced), is unified in gold color, and the combination with the ebony body creates the overwhelming look known as \"Black Beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll pickups have been replaced. While the original specification featured the standard \"57 Classic\" humbucking pickups, this model is equipped with three \"Seymour Duncan SH4\" pickups in white color. This is the most popular model among Duncan pickups, offering high output to push the amp and delivering abundant harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-pickup '57 Les Paul Custom was not produced in large numbers, and since it was manufactured in 2000—a year highly favored even by Gibson enthusiasts—this is a particularly rare example!\u003cbr\u003e\nIt shows appropriate wear and tear, which gives it a fitting sense of character and looks fantastic. The play condition is excellent. You can replace the pickups with your preferred ones if you wish, or you can enjoy the full hard rock sound as it is. Unlike typical Customs, it weighs only 4.13kg, making it easy to use on stage. Highly recommended!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e【Accessories】\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson hard case only (certificate of authenticity and other documentation not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】\u003c\/strong\u003e Minor scratches and dulling of parts throughout, showing general signs of use.
