Step beyond the ordinary and into orbit with this extraordinary Limited Edition from the Greatest Hits II Collection. Created exclusively for select retailers and commissioned by Gibson’s elite Made to Measure team, this 1957 Les Paul Reissue is a rare cosmic event—built in extremely limited numbers and designed to captivate from every angle.

At the heart of this instrument is its mesmerizing Hemisphere Shift gloss finish, a dynamic, color-shifting phenomenon that dances between deep purples, electric blues, flashes of copper, green, and rich burgundy depending on the light. It’s not just a finish—it’s a visual experience, like holding a nebula in your hands.

Every detail has been carefully curated for tone, feel, and visual impact. The lightweight one-piece mahogany body and hide-glue-fitted maple top deliver resonance and sustain that feels alive, while the 1959 Carmelita neck carve offers a fast, comfortable grip that players dream about. Dual Custombucker Alnico III pickups bring vintage warmth, clarity, and that unmistakable Les Paul authority—smooth when you need it, aggressive when you push it.

Built with historic accuracy and premium materials throughout—from the long tenon neck joint to the paper-in-oil capacitors—this guitar doesn’t just look otherworldly, it performs at the highest level.

This is more than a guitar. It’s a collector’s piece, a statement, and a sonic spacecraft ready for launch. Own a piece of the cosmos. This is Les Paul tone and artistry—reimagined through an interstellar lens.
