The Gibson 1955 Les Paul Standard, Slow Ice Tea Fade is a 6-string electric guitar hand-crafted from the Gibson Custom Shop USA.
The Les Paul 1955 Standard brings back the best from the past with a Soft Shoulder '55 neck profile and a gorgeous Slow Ice Tea Fade finish. This 1955 Les Paul Standard is true to the original Les Pauls and is perfect for collectors and Les Paul enthusiasts.
The 1955 Les Paul Standard from Gibson has a hand-carved maple top, which sits on a solid mahogany body.
The Soft Shoulder '55 neck profile is comfortable and replicates the Gibson look and feel of the 50's.
The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Gibson P-90 pickups are just like the original. Gibson phased out the goldtop finish around 1958 and started finishing Les Pauls in popular burst finishes, later favoured by players such as Bloomfield and Clapton. Some early-to-mid 50's Goldtop owners had their guitars stripped down and refinished in the more-popular late-50's burst finishes, resulting in the offset seam of the maple top that this beautiful Slow Ice Tea Fade renders so well.
The 1955 Les Paul Standard comes with the Gibson Custom case and certificate of authenticity. An unique piece of history has been remade and can now be yours to take home.
