Gibson Custom Shop Historic Collection 1956 Les Paul Reissue (LPR-6) 2004

An impressive appearance as if it has weathered through countless battles.
The Gibson Custom Shop's popular series "Historic Collection," affectionately known as "Hiscole," has received the Les Paul Goldtop in 1956 specifications: "1956 Les Paul Reissue (LPR-6)." This is a 2004 model with a weight of 4.42kg.

This model, which focuses on reproducing the sound of that era, is part of a series that adopts standard wood materials while being meticulously crafted by artisans at the highest level.

The pickup is, of course, the "P-90." You can experience traditional sound that combines warm tone, rich harmonics, the clarity characteristic of single coils, and the thickness of humbucker tone. Dents and scratches are present throughout, and the well-used appearance creates a sense of gravitas.

The appropriately aged weather checking is not a manufactured relic like recent Murphy Lab work, but rather a genuine patina from actual use. Paired with a vintage-quality sound and careful assembly by skilled craftsmen, this is truly the classic and ideal Goldtop among P-90-equipped Les Pauls.

When discussing guitars equipped with P-90s, you cannot overlook the Les Paul Goldtop. In Japan, Matsumoto of B'z frequently used it during the "Survive" era, and with the image associated with Tetsuya Miwa of Spitz, it's a considerably popular combination. The tone achieves sweet and thick qualities while delivering clear high frequencies, which is characteristic of the Hiscole series. The neck also has a reassuring thickness, and the playability is outstanding.

Because the output is slightly modest, it produces wonderful texture in both clean tones and crunch. This popular 2000s Hiscole would surely make you happy to have in your room.
