Gibson Custom Shop Made to Measure 1956 "Stinger" Les Paul Standard Goldtop VOS NH (082)

The Gibson Custom Shop Made to Measure 1956 "Stinger" Les Paul Standard Goldtop VOS blends the timeless appeal of a vintage Goldtop with a distinctive Custom Shop aesthetic. Built with a plain maple top over a lightweight one-piece mahogany body, it delivers the warm sustain, rich midrange, and dynamic response that have made the 1956 Les Paul a favorite for generations of players. This Made to Measure model is distinguished by its elegant black "Stinger" finish on the back of the headstock, a classic Custom Shop detail that sets it apart from a standard reissue. Finished in Goldtop VOS nitrocellulose lacquer, it retains the authentic vintage-inspired look and feel of a Historic Collection instrument while showcasing the precision craftsmanship of Gibson's Custom Shop. A substantial 1950s Chunky "D" mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard provide the comfortable, substantial feel that defines the original '56 Les Paul.

A pair of Custom Shop Soapbar P-90 pickups delivers everything players expect from a classic Goldtop—clear, articulate cleans, rich harmonic complexity, punchy midrange, and the unmistakable growl that made P-90s legendary. Combined with traditional 2-volume, 2-tone controls and historic-spec hardware, this Made to Measure "Stinger" offers an authentic vintage playing experience with a unique Custom Shop touch.
