The Gibson M2M 1957 Les Paul Custom is a sophisticated tribute to the iconic '57 Les Paul Custom, famously dubbed the "Black Beauty." This model boasts a pair of unpotted Custombucker pickups with an out-of-phase circuit, allowing players to conjure classic "squawking" guitar tones reminiscent of Peter Green's legendary "Greeny" Les Paul. If you've been searching for a world-class Les Paul with a delightfully unique sound, you need to try this Gibson M2M 1957 Les Paul Custom!
Crafted with a solid mahogany body and an ebony fingerboard, this Gibson projects a rich sound with dark, full-bodied mids and bright, articulate highs. Its Custombucker pickups faithfully recreate the vintage humbucking warmth '50s LP enthusiasts know and love, offering an airy, open tonal palette filled with warmth, growl, and sweetness. Flip to the middle position, though, and you'll tap into a rockin' array of out-of-phase tones.
Beyond its exceptional sound, the Gibson M2M 1957 Les Paul Custom is a true player's guitar. Its '57 Historic mahogany neck has a comfortable, old-school feel suitable for a wide range of styles and techniques. Meanwhile, its ebony fingerboard, ABR-1 bridge, and waffle back tuners contribute to its premium feel and impeccable playability. And thanks to its gold hardware, custom binding, and black top hat knobs, it has an authentic '50s aesthetic that'll satisfy collectors and performers alike.
This beauty comes complete with a Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment that simulates the subtle wear of a well-loved Gibson from decades past. If you've always wanted to know what it's like to riff on a late '50s Gibson, look no further - the Custom Shop M2M 1957 Les Paul Custom Light Aged is an excellent choice.
