Gibson Historic 1957 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty Electric Guitar with Bigsby (with Case) Reviews
10 out of 10
"The best guitar in my collection."
Feature:
I love the Black Beauty. With the shiny, all black finish, gold hardware, 3 gold plated Humbucker pickups, and Gold Bigsby Tremolo arm DO make it "A True Beauty". No wonder Gibson wanted it to look like a Tuxcedo.
Quality:
The shiny all black finish makes it look like a guitar costing about $45,000.
Value:
Really worth the $$$.
Desirability:
All I want different is the price tag.
Sound:
The 3 gold plated Humbucker pickups produce the sound of a totally luxurious guitar.
Ease of Use:
It's lightweight, easy to play sitting or standing, and like I said the sound is out of this world.
Support:
The support and product backup is perfect.
Overall:
In my opinion, this is a beautiful guitar for what you're paying for.
