Personal Reflection
This Bullion Gold '55 Les Paul Standard Reissue is a breathtaking tribute to one of Gibson’s most iconic models, blending vintage aesthetics with Custom Shop-level craftsmanship. The Bullion Gold finish is striking, perfectly complementing the carved maple top and mahogany body for a timeless, elegant look. The chunky '50s neck profile and rosewood fingerboard deliver an authentic vintage feel, making this guitar a joy to play for fans of classic Les Pauls.
The Custom Soapbar P-90 pickups are a standout feature, offering a rich, dynamic tonal palette with the signature midrange growl and warmth P-90s are known for. Whether you’re after smooth cleans or overdriven crunch, this guitar delivers with clarity and character. The wraparound tailpiece adds a touch of vintage vibe, enhancing the sustain and resonance of the instrument.
Ben described the P-90 tones as “alive and full of character, with a beautiful response to both subtle and aggressive playing.” He also praised the overall build quality, noting that the guitar plays effortlessly despite the binding lip issue. This is a perfect choice for players seeking vintage tone and feel with impeccable craftsmanship.
 
Condition Report
This guitar is in excellent condition and classified as a DEMO due to a minor binding lip on the neck where it meets the body, which does not affect playability. Some players may notice the over-set binding, but it remains purely cosmetic. Beyond this, the guitar is otherwise mint, with a flawless Bullion Gold finish, pristine frets, and a clean rosewood fingerboard. The hardware and electronics are fully functional, delivering Gibson’s signature tone and performance. This is a collector-grade instrument with an incredible look, feel, and sound, ready for any stage or studio.
