Product Description |
| When it was introduced in 1954, the Les Paul Custom came with the brand new adjustable ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece arrangement from the beginning of their production. Back then, Gibson had a reputation of taking special orders to satisfy customer requests. Our Special Order model is a "What if" or rumored "might have been" Special Order Les Paul Custom placed with the Wraptail, aka wraparound bridge. Some prefer this simpler bridge for the exceptional tonal transfer it has.TonePros "Wraptail" Bridge/TailpieceThe TonePros "Wraptail" vintage-style one-piece wraparound bridge/tailpiece has locking steel studs mounted into long steel anchors for superior tone transference. A classic piece of hardware, the wraparound bridge/tailpiece on the '55 Les Paul offers a simplicity and functionality that is hard to match. It provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust intonation and string height as needed. This yields an incredible union between the strings and body, resulting in excellent tone and sustain.The hot-mod angle on the Gibson Custom Special Order Hot-Mod 1955 Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar is based the idea of a 1955 Les Paul Custom that was later modified with humbucker pickups (introduced by Gibson in 1957). The classic combination of the all-mahogany body with wraptail bridge and humbuckers delivers a glorious monster tone that introduces a new comfortable and resonant neck profile.BurstBucker humbuckersThe BurstBucker 1 neck humbucker replicates the sounds from Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" pickups, are slightly underwound, with medium "vintage" output. The BurstBucker 2 is a humbucking pickup wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic for replica sound. Unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, just like the original. Slightly hotter than the BurstBucker 1, the 2 works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker 1 pickup in the neck position. Soft Shoulder '55 Neck ProfileThe Soft Shoulder '55 neck profi |
