This great guitar weighs in at an extremely light 8.50 lbs. and has nice, fat nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck with a wonderful fat profile. Ebony fretboard with 22 original small frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and five-piece pearl split-diamond inlay. "Les Paul Custom" on truss-rod cover. The body has seven-ply binding on the top and five-ply binding on the back, the headstock has five-ply binding, and the fretboard is single bound. Individual Kluson Super tuners with single-ring Keystone plastic buttons. One Alnico pickup in the neck position with a huge output of 10.11k and one P-90 pickup in the bridge position with a very strong output of 7.64k. Five-layer (black/white/black/white/black) plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch. Black plastic bell-shaped "Bell" knobs. ABR-1 non-retainer Tune-O-Matic bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated. The serial number stamped in yellow on the back of the headstock is "614639" The potentiometers are stamped "134 621" and "134 626" (Centralab May and June 1956). This totally original "Black Beauty" is in exceptionally fine condition (9.00). Some very minor belt-buckle scarring on the back and a few tiny marks on the body and neck, and some minor tarnishing to the gold hardware are all that prevent this fifty-year old 'Black Beauty' from being mint. This is certainly the lightest 'Fifties' Les Paul Custom that we have ever seen or played. Housed in the original Gibson four-latch black hardshell case with orange-yellow plush lining (9.00).
