Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of this Gibson Custom 1956 Les Paul Standard, a Made to Measure creation from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, designed to replicate the iconic 1956 Les Paul with a unique twist. Typically seen in the classic Double Gold finish, this particular guitar was custom-ordered with a rare, all-over Pelham Blue finish—a color not commonly offered for this model. The VOS treatment gives it a subtle, vintage patina, enhancing its aesthetic with a lightly aged look that complements the Pelham Blue hue, making it a visually striking piece with a bespoke appeal.
This 1956 Les Paul Standard features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, delivering the warm, resonant tone that defined the era. The mahogany neck, with a chunky C-shaped profile, is paired with an Indian rosewood fingerboard featuring cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, a 12" radius, and 22 historic narrow/tall frets, offering a comfortable, vintage feel that’s ideal for players who prefer thicker necks. Equipped with two Custom Soapbar P-90 pickups, this guitar captures the pre-PAF tone of the original ‘56 Les Paul—warm, creamy, and full of life, with a fat snarl when pushed, perfect for jazz, blues, and rock. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge ensures excellent intonation and sustain, while vintage-style Kluson tuners, a 1-ply cream pickguard, and gold knobs complete the authentic look.
