It is with great pleasure that we are able to offer you one of the rarest True-Historics today: a ’57 Black Beauty! If you were to ask people who have never been guitarists or collectors which guitar is the most legendary, the so-called “Black Beauty” would certainly be at the top of the list. This, of course, has to do with iconic musicians like Keith Richards, Neil Young and above all Jimmy Page, all of whom were seen on international stages for many years playing a jet-black Les Paul Custom. But one usually has to admit that “Black Beauties” aren’t for the faint of back. This particular Les Paul Custom completely defies that generalization, weighing in at just 3930 grams. This perfect weight, combined with the super-comfortable ’57 neck profile, results in an incredibly pleasant playing experience. What’s more, it’s rare to hold a Custom that offers more sustain and substance. You notice this right away when you strum the first chord without an amp. The way every note decays so evenly and for so long instantly puts a smile on your face. When you turn on the amp, the fun really kicks into high gear, because of course the Custombuckers deliver a classic Les Paul tone par excellence. Already beautifully rich and round in clean mode, the party really gets going when you crank up the distortion. When you start blasting out Rock riffs and racing across the fretboard with fast licks on this guitar, you can hardly believe your luck. There’s probably no need to say much about its distinctive look: a jet-black lacquer finish that captivates with a wonderful patina thanks to its vintage finish. Contrasting with this are the beautifully yellowed binding and the elegant gold-colored hardware. This is what legends look like! ...and the fact that this particular guitar is also equipped with “True Historic” specs — such as select woods, hide glue, super-thin nitrocellulose lacquer, etc. — can only be seen as the perfect finishing touch to this fantastic overall package, which also guarantees the very best retention of value. This exclusive “Black Beauty” will arrive except for minimal signs of wear that are inevitable on a jet-black guitar in top condition to its new owner.
