From Freddie King to Jeff Beck, many great pickers have been attracted the unique character of the "wraparound" tailpiece of a 1954 Les Paul Goldtop. Some believe its direct link to the body stud screws maximizes sustain while others believe the wraparound bar creates a distinct tonality and vocal quality. Whatever the case, there is certainly something special about this early year in the Les Paul Model's history and Gibson Custom Shop created this '54 Reissue to perfectly recapture the look, feel, and tone of the originals.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Hand-selected mahogany body with carved maple top for the iconic Les Paul tonal balance. PAF-inspired humbuckers delivering thick, warm, endlessly sustaining tone. Set-neck construction for enhanced resonance and sustain. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe and mature.
Keep the neck pickup volume at 7 with the bridge at full, then switch to the middle position - you'll discover a shimmering clarity and chime that most Les Paul players never explore. It's like finding a hidden third voice.
A Gibson Les Paul is rock history in your hands. From Slash's searing 'November Rain' solo to Joe Bonamassa's devastating blues tone, this guitar has defined what electric guitar should sound like for generations. The combination of mahogany warmth, maple brightness, and humbucker power creates a voice that's instantly recognizable and endlessly inspiring. Once you play a well-set-up Les Paul, nothing else quite scratches the same itch.
