Two screaming P-90 pickups, a wraparound bridge,—that’s all that plenty of legendary players ever needed to get the job done, and it’s all packed in here in greater detail than ever before in the 1954 Les Paul Reissue from Gibson’s Custom Shop. The sunburst Les Paul Standards of 1958-’60 may grab most of the attention, but for some of the true tone hounds out there, the 1954 Les Paul Model embodies raw blues and rock’n’roll more than any other guitar on the planet. From Carl Perkins’ recordings of “Honey Don’t” and “Blue Suede Shoes” to Freddie King’s “Hideaway”, a '54 Les Paul was there, rippin’ it up and making musical history in the process. Marrying a solid, lightweight mahogany back to a carved maple top was the first stroke of genius, and established the most legendary tonewood combination in the history of electric guitar manufacturing. With the addition of the wraparound bridge in late ’53/early ’54, the Les Paul had arrived, and it has never looked back.
