A historically accurate reissue of the 1958 Gibson Les Paul, though the Gibson Custom Shop has taken a small yet authentic artistic liberty: Instead of cream-colored binding around the body and fretboard, this model features black binding.

This is a tribute to the very few Les Paul models with this binding that left the Gibson factory in 1958 at the special request of customers. And this more recent version was also built in very limited numbers in 2018. In this attractive “Green Lemon Burst” finish, it is even rarer to find.
