One morning recently we were having coffee with our good friend Gary Blankenberg, a man who has probably forgotten more about guitars than most will ever know, and the topic of discussion was the Les Paul Junior. We agreed that it may be the ultimate rock and roll tone machine; the lean, single-pickup configuration just begs for it to be played wide open. Then Gary said, "Hey, you know what would be cool? A flametop burst with one pickup. Just one pickup and 'Go.'" It was hard to argue with that logic, so we called up Gibson Custom Shop to discuss, and the Limited Run Single-Pickup '58 Les Paul Figured Top was born. These guitars are built to the same specs as Historic '58 Reissues with a few minor changes, including a lightly figured top, wraparound tailpiece, and short neck tenon. With one pickup and half the control knobs, more of the beautiful figured maple top is seen. Also, the absence of a neck pickup makes these great strumming guitars with plenty of room around the strings. The single pickup '58 isn't the one trick pony you may think it is-the tone and volume knobs give you plenty of control, so you are not limited to one sound. Adjusting either in the slightest way can make a huge tonal difference, from searing distortion to a nice, gritty rhythm sound. For a second we all thought we were getting stronger here at the Zoo, but then we threw it on the scale and realized it's not us, it's the guitar. Weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz., this single-pickup '58 is light and loud. Minimize

We're big fans of an all-white Les Paul here at the Zoo, so of course we were stoked when the case to this Classic Vintage White Les Paul Standard was opened up for the first time. We're really digging the slightly-aged hue of white against the cream body and fretboard binding. The guitar has a chunky '50s neck shape that really lets you hammer away at those rhythms, and the guitar has a built-in Cutler Miller pre-amp, which keeps your tone tight and bright even when the volume controls on the guitar are turned down.

(The Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1954 Les Paul Limited Run electric guitar is a wonderful reproduction that offers supreme tone and playability. This classic Gibson Les Paul guitar features a carved maple top, a mahogany back, one-piece mahogany neck with long neck tenon, an early '50s rounded neck profile, 24-3/4" scale length, and a 1-11/16" nut width. It is highlighted with cream binding on the body and on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. Its finer appointments include nickel hardware, trapezoidal inlays, pearl Gibson logo headstock inlay, and vintage tulip-head Kluson tuners. The Historic 1954 Les Paul Limited Run guitar is equipped with dual Gibson P-90 pickups (a single P-90 on the Antigue Goldtop model) that offer a snappy, slightly gritty response, with a chunky midrange, firm lows, and sweet, musical highs. The P-90 was the standard pickup on all Gibson guitars in the late 1940s and into the 1950s and because of its crisp, bright tone it has experienced resurgence in popularity with many of today's modern rockers. In the bridge position, the P-90 packs plenty of snarly cutting power, while in the neck position it can be surprisingly rich and refined. You'll find that the P-90s' high output and biting treble has more nuanced harmonic coloring than the typical single-coil pickup.The Historic 1954 Les Paul Limited Run comes protected in a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell guitar case and includes a Certificate of Authenticity and full owner's manual and instructions.Model name: Historic 1954 Les Paul Limited RunModel number: HB179CBody style: Les Paul solid bodyTop Wood: mapleBody wood: mahoganyFinish: lacquerColors: faded ice tea, washed cherry, antique goldScale length: 24-3/4"Headstock Inlay: mother of pearl of Gibson logoTuners: Kluson reissue green keysNut: CorianNut Width: 1.69"Neck: mahoganyNeck profile: '50s roundedNeck joint: setFingerboard: rosewoodFingerboard radius: 12"Number of frets: 22Fret type: JumboFingerboard inlays: dotsHardware plating: nickelBridge: wraparound "stud" bridgeNeck Pickup: P-90 (no neck pickup on the Antique Goldtop model)Bridge Pickup: P-90Pickup selector: 3-way toggle switchControls: 2 volume, 2 tonePickguard: whiteCase: Hardshell Gibson guitar case Minimize

In the mid-50s, a sunburst finish was not an available option on a Les Paul. In 1958, Goldtops were phased out and a cherry sunburst became the standard finish. Sunburst finishes became all the rage with some really popular artists such as Clapton and Bloomfield using late 50s 'Bursts. The single-cut Gibson Les Paul electric guitars were discontinued in '60-'61 and were not reintroduced for several years. Many players started stripping the gold off the top of their early-mid 50s Les Paul guitars and would have them refinished to emulate the desirable sunburst Les Pauls. The Gibson Custom Refin Hot-Mod features a beautiful sunburst top and even has an offset center seam to emulate the originals.The hot-mod angle on the Gibson Custom Refin Hot-Mod 1955 Les Paul electric guitar is based on the idea of a 1955 Les Paul that was later modified with humbucker pickups (introduced by Gibson in 1957). The classic combination of the mapled-topped mahogany body with wraptail bridge and humbuckers delivers a glorious monster tone that introduces a comfortable and resonant neck profile.BurstBucker humbuckersThe BurstBucker 1 neck humbucker replicates the sounds from Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" pickups, are slightly underwound, with medium "vintage" output. The BurstBucker 2 is a humbucking pickup wound in the range of Gibson's '57 Classic for replica sound. Unpolished magnets and non-potted coils, just like the original. Slightly hotter than the BurstBucker 1, the 2 works well in the bridge position with a BurstBucker 1 pickup in the neck position. TonePros "Wraptail" Bridge/TailpieceThe TonePros "Wraptail" vintage-style one-piece wraparound bridge/tailpiece has locking steel studs mounted into long steel anchors for superior tone transference. A classic piece of hardware, the wraparound bridge/tailpiece on the '55 Les Paul Guitar offers a simplicity and functionality that is hard to match. It provides a firm seating for the strings, allowing the player to adjust intonation and string height as needed. This yields an incredible union between the strings and body, resulting in excellent tone and sustain.Soft Shoulder '55 Neck ProfileThe Soft Shoulder '55 neck profile makes the Gibson Les Paul Refin Hot-Mod sit in your hand like no other guitar neck. Gibson's guitar team chose a '55 Les Paul that had a neck with a "magical feel" to serve as a model for the Soft Shoulder '55 neck. The depth is the same from the top of the fretboard to the back of the neck as the rounded '50s neck, yet has gently sloping sides that sit comfortably in your hand. Year of 1955 Innovation1955 was a year of great innovation in all areas of American life. 1955 saw the dawn of the United States space program. The first of the classic V8Chevrolets hit dealerships all over the country, reflecting the spirit of change that was in the air. And don't forget the birth of Rock and Roll! Jukeboxes were blasting music by Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, a kid named Elvis, and his guitar player Scotty Moore. Something was afoot. The archetypical tones of this music had already been forged in the Gibson Guitar Factory. There, in 1955, the future sonic masterpiece known as the humbucking pickup was being prototyped. All the ingredients necessary to create the soundtrack of the next quarter century and beyond existed within that building.Mahogany bodyMaple topHeritage cherry sunburst nitrocellulose finish24-3/4"-scaleSet-in neck jointMahogany neckSoft Shoulder '55 neck profileRosewood fretboard22 frets1-11/16" nut widthTonePros "Wraptail" one-piece wrapover bridge/tailpiece with long steel anchors and long, locking studsBurstbucker 1 neck humbuckerBurstbucker 2 bridge humbuckerVolume/Volume/Tone/Tone controls3-way pickup selectorKluson tunersNickel hardware Minimize
