This '55 Gibson Les Paul is a remarkable example of the model’s early evolution, offering the kind of feel, tone, and character that have made these guitars the stuff of legends. With its original wraparound tailpiece and P-90 pickups, it delivers a raw, articulate voice full of punch and clarity—perfect for the spectrum of blues to rock and roll. The finish has gracefully aged with gorgeous checking and a nice green hue, and while some of the original fingerboard inlays have shrunk over time, they’ve been professionally stabilized with subtle filler work to maintain playability and integrity. The neck has that classic ’50s profile—substantial but inviting—with a lively resonance that carries through every note. 

Includes original Lifton hard shell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
