Here's what Gibson say about the 1957 LP Custom 2 Pickup VOS

The introduction of Gibson’s Les Paul Model in 1952 marked the beginning of the electric solid body guitar era. The launch of the company’s “deluxe” version two years later – the Les Paul Custom – cemented Gibson’s legacy as the industry leader, even though sales numbers didn’t accurately illustrate the guitar’s early impact.

Nicknamed the “Fretless Wonder” for its low frets, or “Black Beauty” for its rich, contrasting color, the Les Paul Custom was introduced at the same time as the Gibson Les Paul Junior and represented the ultimate in Gibson solid body design at the time. It sold originally for $325, which was $100 more than the regular Les Paul Model.

Stuff About Gibson

Gibson has long stood as a symbol of American craftsmanship and musical heritage, shaping the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over a century. Founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1902, Gibson became legendary with instruments like the Les Paul, SG, and ES series, each known for their rich sustain, premium tonewoods, and iconic designs. The brand’s pioneering use of humbucker pickups and carved maple tops created the warm, powerful sound that defines countless classic recordings. Played by greats such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Angus Young, Gibson guitars continue to represent timeless quality, innovation, and a deep connection between player and instrument.
