Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue 3-Pickup VOS pairs a mahogany body and carved maple top with three '57 Classic humbuckers and hand-wired 50s electronics. Individual volume controls and two tone controls let you work with the pickup selection and blend available voices from the guitar. Its rounded mahogany neck, jumbo frets, 24.75-inch scale, aged nitrocellulose VOS finish, ebony fingerboard, and gold hardware place the emphasis on a detailed 1950s-style presentation. A hardshell case is included.
