Gibson Les Paul Custom 57 "Black Beauty" True Historic Vintage Ebony (2016)

It is with great pleasure that we can offer you one of the rarest True Historics today: a '57 Black Beauty! If you were to ask people who are neither guitarists nor collectors to name the most legendary guitar, the so-called “Black Beauty” would certainly be at the top of the list. Of course this has to do with iconic musicians such as Keith Richards, Neil Young and above all Jimmy Page, who were all seen on international stages with a jet-black Les Paul Custom for a long time. But it has to be admitted that “Black Beauties” are not for the faint-hearted. This Les Paul Custom contradicts this generalization across the board by weighing in at just 4030 grams. This perfect weight in combination with the super comfortable '57 neck profile results in an enormously pleasant playing feel. Furthermore, we have rarely experienced a Les Paul Custom that has been blessed with more sustain and substance than this True Historic. You notice this as soon as you strum the first chord without an amp. The even and long decay of all the notes here immediately puts a grin on your face. If you then switch on the amp, the playing fun is maximized, because of course the Custombuckers deliver a Paula tone par excellence. Already nice and juicy and round when played clean, the party really gets going when distorted. When you start banging out Rock riffs and whizzing across the fretboard with fast licks, you can hardly contain your joy. You probably don't need to say much about the characteristic look: a deep black finish with a wonderful patina thanks to the vintage finish. In contrast to this is the wonderful yellowish-faded binding and the elegant gold-colored hardware. This is what legends look like! ...and the fact that this specimen is also equipped with “True Historic” specs such as selected woods, hide-glue, super-thin nitro lacquer etc. can only be regarded as the perfect finishing touch to the fantastic overall package, which also guarantees the very best value retention. This exclusive “Black Beauty” comes to its new owner in top condition with only minimal signs of use.
