Musikmesse 2015: Gibson Custom Teases True Historic Les Pauls

Following their first appearance at NAMM, ‪#‎musikmesse‬ again finds Gibson Custom teasing us with its forthcoming True Historic models. Not only are the plastics and pickup covers much closer to those used from 1956-60 but Les Pauls throughout the range will also feature thinner, hand-sanded lacquer, softer edge profiles, hand-filed rolled fingerboard binding, new carving processes and much more. Availability and pricing is still TBA.

Is all this music to the ears of Les Paul aficionados or is an existing R9 more than vintage-accurate enough for you? Let us know what you think…
