  • This 1955 Gibson Les Paul Custom is one of the finest Les Paul guitars I've had, ever! It has survived in excellent condition and is a fabulous playing example after a meticulous refret inside the binding. It is completely original throughout and has suffered no breaks or repairs. It plays like a brand new instrument, but has all the feel, character, and vibe that the 1950s Les Pauls are known for. It's the best of both worlds.

    I remember seeing one of these in a music store in Pacifica, California around 1977. I fell in love with it but, as a teenager, I could not afford the $425.00 price tag. I don't even want to think of what one of these goes for now.

    Any chance you'll demo that 6G8 Twin with the brown knobs?

    If I were you, I'd give some very serious thought to redoing the tone demo with different mic placement. The tone this guitar is not supposed to be brittle and harsh. The reason why the tone is so bad is because the mic is pointing directly at the center of the speaker cone.

      That's why they put tone controls on the guitar & amp. Those knobs actually do something.

    Almost Tele-ish in it raw directness. Great guitar, and a fantastic sound in its own right, but a little raw/shrill/spikey for my personal taste?

    Just heard the (great) player said 'not spikey' so maybe I should shut up 😂

      No, you're right. The tone is terrible because of the mic placement pointing directly at the center of the speaker.

      @@akasgsvirgil9503 I'd say its a big stretch to call the tone "terrible" - the mic did get bumped a little closer, but playing a tweed deluxe clean on the bridge pickup of a singlecoil guitar is always going to have some bite. The speaker in this one is a bit tired, which is apparent by some of the breakup. That said, we're constantly trying to improve!

      @@RiggsTaylor Excellent! Here's a grand opportunity to improve your video.
      You want that tone demo to be spot on perfect. Its not perfect. In fact, its quite bad.
      Its your money, bubba.

    55K??? I've heard many many les pauls sound better than this one. Cool guitar tho.
    An ebony neck with the P90s can get shrill in about one half a second.
