1953 Gibson Les Paul Custom, One of the Earliest Issues
An exceptionally early Gibson Les Paul Custom, identified by Guitar Traders Tokyo as a 1953 example and one of the earliest issues of the model.
Early Les Paul Customs occupy a special position in Gibson history, combining the elegant black finish and upscale appointments of the Custom with construction details found at the very beginning of the model's development.
Guitar Traders Tokyo specifically notes the shallow neck angle and shorter headstock dimensions of this early example, characteristics that contribute to its distinctive feel and response. The dealer also describes the guitar as unusually light for a 1950s Les Paul Custom, with a rich, sweet tone and particularly strong harmonic content.
An original black alligator hard case is included.
