2023 Gibson Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Standard Willcutt Exclusive Oxblood VOS

This vintage-style Les Paul is a masterclass in tone, craftsmanship, and aesthetic, finished in a striking custom Oxblood nitrocellulose lacquer with VOS treatment for a gently aged, time-worn look. Its 2-piece figured maple top is paired with a 1-piece lightweight mahogany back and 1-ply Royalite binding, creating a resonant, classic tonewood combination.

The solid mahogany neck features a chunky C profile with a long tenon and hide glue fit for exceptional sustain and feel. An Indian rosewood fingerboard with cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays completes the vintage vibe, while narrow/tall historic frets ensure smooth playability.

Under the hood, unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups deliver warm, articulate tones through a hand-wired circuit with CTS pots and paper-in-oil capacitors. Nickel hardware, a no-wire ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stop bar, and period-correct plastics tie it all together. This custom Oxblood Les Paul is a true statement piece, built for tone and made to be played.  Excellent condition.
