The 2002 Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1957 Les Paul Jr in Tobacco Sunburst is a stunning example of Gibson's commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. This guitar is in very good condition, showing visible player wear in the form of small chips and dings around the body, which adds to its character. Weighing 9 lbs 8 oz, it offers a substantial feel that many players appreciate. Although it does not come with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA), it includes the original hard shell case (OHSC).
