1956 Les Paul Reissue electric guitar with P-90 pickups and Aged finish, including Gibson hard shell Case
With authentic Specs of the Pre Burst era, the 1956 Les Paul Reissue Gibson represents the sound, look and feel of classic 1956 Paulas. These include, for example, the strikingly powerful neck 1956 Les Paul profile and the characteristic sound of two P-90 pickups in neck and bridge position.

Gibson's interpretation of the 1956 Les Paul Heavy Aged Gold mist poly finish.
Classic lacquer cracks and natural wear and tear give the 1956 LP Reissue the charm of well-maintained originals.
Solid LP construction with Hide Glue
To get as close as possible to this Original , he Gibson Custom Shop relies on the prevailing production techniques of the mid-fifties. Therefore the long neck foot and the top of the 1956 Les Paul reissue were mounted with heated balgleim. The glass-hard connection not only provides improved sound characteristics, but also allows simpler Neck resets and modifications if required.
Two P-90 Single Coil pickups in the familiar Cream Soapbar case.
Gibson P-90 Pickups
As the single coil forerunner of the Humbucker, the P-90 was considered a guarantor for wide and powerful sounds without neglecting its classic Single Coil character. In spite of the wide coil winding and characteristic Alnico heat, both pickups cannot deny their single-coil design and offer a correspondingly clear height spectrum. Of course, disturbing trebles can also be removed from the signal at any time using separate tone controls.
