This is a Pre-Order listing scheduled to ship June 2026 Subject to Manufacturer Availability

Limited Edition Gibson Custom Shop Craftsmanship

This is not your standard Black Beauty. This is a bold reinterpretation of one of the most revered electric guitars ever built. Straight out of the Gibson Custom Shop, this 57 Les Paul Custom trades tradition for something far more exotic with a full Korina build that immediately sets it apart both visually and tonally. Built with precision and intent, it reflects decades of player driven design evolution while staying anchored to the spirit of the original.

All Korina Tone and Resonance

Korina brings a unique voice to the Les Paul platform. There is a lively, resonant quality that feels immediate in the hands with a balanced response across the frequency range. The low end stays focused, the mids bloom with harmonic richness, and the top end has a smooth clarity that never gets harsh. With no weight relief, the body delivers a solid and connected feel that translates directly into sustain and dynamic response.

Vintage 1950s Neck Feel and Ebony Precision

The Korina neck is carved into a chunky 1950s profile that fills the hand just right. It is substantial without being cumbersome and offers that familiar broken in feel from the first position to the upper register. The ebony fingerboard adds snap and articulation while maintaining a smooth, fast playing surface. Block inlays and classic Custom appointments complete the upscale look and feel.

Custombucker Alnico 3 Pickups and Versatility

Loaded with a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers, this guitar delivers everything from articulate cleans to rich, dynamic overdrive. These pickups are known for their clarity and harmonic complexity, capturing that late 50s tonal character with impressive nuance. The traditional control layout with two volume and two tone knobs alongside a three way toggle gives you complete command of your sound.

Gold Hardware and VOS Aesthetic

Gold hardware and the Antique Natural VOS finish give this instrument a refined, aged elegance. Every detail feels intentional, from the ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge to the Kluson waffleback tuners. The Lifton style reissue case completes the package, making this as much a collector piece as it is a serious player’s instrument.
