Displaying at NAMM is a super prestigious event in the music industry calendar, so Gibson sure was looking to impress! That year, Gibson displayed five distinctive Les Paul models finished in one of five custom metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes. These distinctive-looking instruments were unlike anything ever produced by Gibson and certainly caught the eye of everyone who attended the show. Sadly, these original guitars and finishes were soon lost to the Gibson archives, in fact, the whereabouts of only a few of these guitars are known.   In celebration of the 70th anniversary of these rare guitars, Gibson Custom have released this limited-edition and highly collectible 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul. Only 70 of these Platinum beauties have been produced, finished in a nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes expertly recreated by Gibson for the first time ever.    This awesome guitar features a traditional and historically accurate 1955 Les Paul spec. It features a lightweight one-piece Mahogany body and a hide glue fitted two-piece maple cap. With this legendary tone wood pairing, you just know its going to nail that iconic early 50s Les Paul tone. The custom metallic Platinum nitrocellulose finish looks super slick and gives this special instrument a unique charm. The ultra-thin nitrocellulose finish has been painstakingly aged by the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab team. The Light Aged finish treatment, paired with lightly aged hardware, simulates decades of light play wear, giving these guitars the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
