Description

Unleash the spirit of rock history with the Gibson 1954 Robbie Krieger Les Paul Custom. Crafted as a tribute to the iconic sound that shaped The Doors' legendary track "L.A. Woman," this guitar is more than an instrument; it's a time machine. With only 150 units produced, this limited edition is a collector's gem, perfect for those who appreciate the fusion of artistry and authenticity.

The guitar features an all-mahogany body and top, delivering a rich resonance and sustain that Les Paul enthusiasts crave.

A testament to its meticulous craftsmanship, this guitar boasts a hide-glued neck with an extended tenon for incredible sustain. The ebony fretboard and pearloid trapezoid inlays not only ensure smooth playability but also add a touch of elegance. Finished with a vintage-correct nitrocellulose lacquer, the Gibson 1954 Robbie Krieger Les Paul Custom is not just about looks—it's about delivering a tone as timeless as the music it helped create.
