Gibson Historic 1957 Les Paul Electric Guitar
Seth Lover's fabled PAF (Patent Applied
For) humbucking pickups were added to the Les Paul Model in 1957. These dual
coil pickups, quieter and yet more powerful than the single coil P-90s that
preceded them, combined with the ABR-1 to create a guitar with unprecedented
sustain and tone. In 2003, 2 Burstbuckers faithfully replicate the warm,
vocal quality and rich harmonic content of the legendary originals. The
1957
Reissue features a carved Maple top, solid Mahogany body, a cream binding, a
1-piece Mahogany neck, nickel hardware and tulip tuners. Includes Custom
Shop case.
