The 2022 Gibson Custom Shop M2M 1957 Les Paul Standard Reissue, specially customized with the same Sweet Cherry Red color scheme as Eric Clapton's legendary "Lucy" Les Paul. This exceptional guitar showcases all the meticulous historic construction methods of the famous ‘59 Reissues, along with a few historically accurate specifications that allow it to stand on its own.

Like the original 1957 models, this guitar features narrow frets, which enhance the tonal profile by allowing more of the fingerboard wood to resonate. It also boasts a round, chunky neck profile for a substantial feel and maximum bending leverage. Each guitar is equipped with a beautiful plain maple top, unique and full of character. Finished with a VOS treatment and paired with lightly aged hardware, this instrument captures the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from Gibson's Golden Era.
