Gibson 1957 Les Paul Custom 3 Pickup Vintage Original Spec has the worn appearance of a guitar that's been around since the late 50s. Vintage Original Spec (VOS) guitars go through a special process that gently ages the guitar"s finish, hardware and binding to give a more vintage look and feel. This guitar looks like it's been around for years and plays like a dream. Using period correct materials and the original specifications of these guitars, finally you can have an aged Les Paul much like the models still coveted by guitarists everywhere. All VOS model Gibsons are given an aged appearance by enduring unique staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing processes.

We primarily took on the challenge of re-creating the 3 most vital aspects of these legendary instruments: Look, Playability, and most of all Tone. In order to accurately reproduce the appearance of vintage Gibsons, the Custom Shop uses a combination of faithful adherence to our history and proprietary new processes and inventions. The hardware is left to soak in a special solution that transforms a brand new pick-up cover into a gently used historic jewel. The plastic and binding are painstakingly hand aged to provide that warm yellowed look that takes decades to occur in nature. Vintage accurate wood fillers, anodized dies and a 100% nitro-cellulose lacquer finishes are all expertly applied to create exacting reproductions of Gibson"s Gold Tops, Cherry"s, TV"s and, of course, famous Sunbursts. However, at a special point during the final buffing process, VOS guitars are treated to an application of Gibson"s secret and proprietary Magic Tone Oil . This oil is left to cure for a few days, and the result is that unmistakable lightly worn but still gorgeous appearance of a well cared for 50
