Overview

Own a piece of Gibson history with this limited-edition Les Paul.

The Gibson 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul electric guitar is a meticulously crafted tribute to a rare and iconic piece of Gibson history. This special-edition guitar, limited to only 350 pieces worldwide, recreates the distinctive Les Paul models that were showcased at the 1955 NAMM Show in Chicago. With its period-accurate specifications, custom metallic finishes and Murphy Lab Light Aged treatment, the 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul captures the essence of Gibson's golden era and offers a truly authentic vintage experience.

Historically Accurate 1955 Specifications for an Authentic Vintage Feel

This limited-edition Les Paul is built with historically accurate 1955 specifications, ensuring an authentic vintage feel and tone. The lightweight one-piece mahogany body and hide glue-fitted two-piece plain maple cap provide a resonant foundation for the guitar's classic sound. The one-piece mahogany neck features a long neck tenon and a 1950s Chunky D-Shape neck profile, offering a comfortable and familiar playing experience. The Indian rosewood fretboard with 22 historic narrow/tall frets and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays adds a touch of vintage elegance.

Custom Metallic Finishes and No-Wire ABR-1 Bridge for a Distinctive Look

The 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul is available in five distinctive custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes: Samoa Beige, Copper Iridescent, Nugget Gold, Platinum and Viceroy Brown. These finishes, expertly recreated by Gibson for the first time ever, capture the unique aesthetic of the original 1955 Les Pauls. The guitar also features a no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and a lightweight aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, adding to its vintage charm and tonal authenticity.

Custom Shop P-90 Soapbar Pickups for a Classic Tone

This limited-edition Les Paul is equipped with a pair of cream-covered Custom Shop P-90 Soapbar pickups, known for their classic vintage tone and dynamic response. These pickups deliver a wide range of sounds, from warm, clear cleans to gritty, overdriven tones. The handwired electronics, featuring 500k CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors, ensure that the guitar's tone remains true to its vintage roots.

Murphy Lab Light Aged Finish for a Vintage Vibe
