Gibson Custom Shop Wildwood Spec 1954 Les Paul Custom – VOS • SN:43095

When the first Les Paul Custom was born in 1954, the mountains shook and the heavens trembled at its awesome might and power. I might be embellishing here, but only slightly. The reason the Les Paul Custom shook up the musical world when it arrived is its alluring combination of raw muscle and elegant, stately styling. In a way, it's like the six-string equivalent of James Bond: sure, it might look fancy, but don't blink, because it's deadly and it has a license to kill. To pay homage to those original black beauties, we asked our friends at the Gibson Custom Shop to build us some Wildwood Spec 1954 Les Paul Customs. We spent hours on the phone with them obsessing over aesthetic details like the tint of the binding, the tuners, and the plastics. Now that the results of our nerdery have arrived, we are delighted to share them with you! Wildwood Guitars: https://wildwoodguitars.com/product/4...
