This time, we have received the 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, which epitomizes rock guitar and captivates guitarists around the world, is one of the most iconic and beautiful guitars in the Gibson lineup. The 1957 Les Paul Custom, boasting an elegant form and the beauty of ebony and gold, represents the most symbolic and aesthetically refined guitars among Gibson's offerings.\u003cbr\u003e\nUnique among Les Pauls, this guitar features an all-mahogany body carved from a single large piece of mahogany, which produces a distinctive mid-range tone. Combined with the bright sound of the ebony fingerboard, it creates a signature sound characteristic of this era's Custom model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck features a thick C-shape that is easy to grip. Following the original specifications, it employs a long tenon design, offering exceptional sustain.\u003cbr\u003e\nHardware, including Schaller tuners (which have been replaced), is unified in gold color. The combination of this gold hardware with the ebony body color achieves the stunning look known as the \"Black Beauty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll pickups have been replaced. Originally equipped with the standard \"57 Classic\" humbucker pickups, this guitar features three Seymour Duncan SH4 pickups in white color. The most popular model among Duncan pickups, these offer high output to push the amp and deliver abundant harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-pickup 1957 Les Paul Custom was not produced in large quantities, and since it was manufactured in 2000—a year particularly popular among Gibson enthusiasts—this is a valuable instrument!\u003cbr\u003e\nWell-played with appropriate patina that creates a commanding presence, this is a really cool guitar. The play condition is excellent. You can change the pickups to your preference, or continue using it as-is to enjoy full-on hard rock sound. Unusually for a Custom, 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【Accessories】Gibson hard case only (authentication certificate and other documentation not included)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e【Appearance \u0026amp; Condition】Fine scratches and tarnishing on hardware throughout, showing general signs of use.
