Les Paul models are known for their fixed tune-o-matic bridges with stoptail bars, but every now and then Gibson made them with Bigsby vibrato systems. This one comes with a Bigsby, a gorgeous, gold-plated vibrato system, combined with tune-o-matic bridge in the front. Behind the Bigsby, there is a trapezoid tailpiece with Gibson logo. Body of this 1957 Les Paul Custom is made of mahogany back and maple top. Top is carved, bound in creme and topped with a plastic black pickguard. Ebony is the only color scheme for this model and it comes finished in high gloss. Burstbucker pickups come with CTS pots and Bumble Bee capacitors. Mahogany neck is set-in , fit with '50s contour and topped with a regular 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
