1998 Gibson Custom Shop 1956 Les Paul Reissue Electric Guitar - Chameleon

A rare bird from the golden era of Gibson’s Custom Shop, this 1998 ’56 Les Paul Reissue is dressed in one of the most elusive finishes ever to leave Nashville—Chameleon. At first glance, it’s a moody burst; tilt it in the light and it shifts, dances, and glows with deep greens, purples, and bronzes—like a vintage muscle car crossed with a fever dream. Underneath the hood, it’s all classic: a carved maple top, one-piece mahogany back, and a pair of P-90s that growl, snarl, and sing like they’ve lived a few lives. The '50s neck carve is full and soulful, with just the right amount of heft to dig into.

It’s a guitar that doesn’t just play the blues—it owns them. Whether you're chasing the vintage tone of a mid-century Les Paul or collecting the rare and beautiful oddities Gibson occasionally let slip through, this one checks every box. Comes with its original brown Lifton-style case and enough mojo to last a lifetime.
