Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the \"wraparound\" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul™. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history. The Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals, additionally utilizing a Heavy Aging treatment by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Shape: Les Paul\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: 2-Piece Plain Maple, Hide Glue Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack: 1-Piece Lightweight Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBinding: 1-Ply Royalite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Relief: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer; Murphy Lab Heavy Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Solid Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfile: Chunky C-Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Material: Indian Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber Of Frets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Historic Gibson Narrow\/Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width: 1.687\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd of Board Width: 2.24\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Aged Cellulose Nitrate Trapezoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJoint: Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Nickel; Murphy Lab Heavy Aged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuner Plating: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Wraparound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Wraparound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines: Kluson Single Line, Single Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Replica Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Authentic 1950s No-Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod Cover: Authentic Stepped 2-Ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Knobs: Gold Speed Knobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Tip: Amber Catalin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchwasher: Replica Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Plate Cover: Laminated Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Covers: Brown Royalite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap Buttons: Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Covers: Soapbar Cellulose Acetate Butyrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElectronics\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup: Custom Soapbar P-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup: Custom Soapbar P-90\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCTS 500K Audio Taper Potentiometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper-in-Oil Capacitors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Switchcraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMiscellaneous\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrings Gauge: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Aged Brown\/Pink Lifton Reissue 5-Latch Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounted Custom Shop Switch Plate Medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReissue Switch Backplate in Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Gibson\u003cbr\u003eModel: LPR54M2M18469\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I691610-N-42543-0-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 711106093987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
