Gibson is the king of the guitar world, having produced countless legendary instruments.
It is beloved by countless top artists, including Jimmy Page, Slash, and Zakk Wylde.
The Les Paul model, released by Gibson in 1952, was Gibson's first solid-body guitar and debuted as the signature model for American guitarist Les Paul.
The Les Paul's signature fat tone and long sustain have been cherished by countless artists, enriching music scenes across various genres from its debut to the present day.
It truly represents the quintessential electric guitar model.
This instrument is a reproduction of the 1957 Les Paul Standard.
The serial number indicates it was manufactured in 1993, marking the inaugural year of the Historic Collection.
The body back is Mahogany, the top is Maple.
Finished in solid gold color, combined with aging effects, it achieves an old-like look.
The neck is Mahogany, the fingerboard is Rosewood.
It features the 50s style's signature fat, substantial neck shape.
It is equipped with Seymour Duncan APH-2 pickups.
This is the signature pickup of Slash, one of the guitar heroes renowned for his love of Les Paul models.
Designed to capture the sound of the Les Paul model used on the legendary album Appetite for Destruction, it delivers a wild sound with impressive sustain.
The combination of the gold top, the design omitting the pickguard, and the Seymour Duncan APH-2 pickup gives it a look reminiscent of Slash's Victoria.
