However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Gibson Custom 1957 Les Paul Custom Reissue is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic electric guitars ever made. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this reissue captures the essence of the original Les Paul, complete with its signature ebony finish, multi-ply binding, and mother-of-pearl block inlays. The light-aged nitrocellulose lacquer gives it the worn-in feel of a vintage instrument, adding to its timeless appeal. Every contour, carve, and component has been carefully reimagined to match the legendary '57 model, making this a must-have if you crave classic style and heritage.
Equipped with a trio of Gibson’s highly regarded Custombucker pickups, this Les Paul Custom delivers the unmistakable warmth, clarity, and articulation of original late-'50s PAF humbuckers. The bridge pickup provides rich, cutting lead tones, while the neck pickup offers deep, resonant warmth for smooth, jazzy cleans. The middle pickup adds a unique tonal blend, perfect for thick, harmonically rich rhythm work. Combined with handwired electronics and high-quality CTS pots, this setup ensures a dynamic and responsive playing experience, bringing out the full character of the mahogany body and ebony fretboard.
Adding even more versatility to this classic design, the factory-installed Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece allows for expressive bends and subtle pitch shifts while maintaining the guitar’s legendary sustain. The smooth operation of the Bigsby makes it easy to add a touch of vibrato to chords and leads, making this Les Paul ideal for blues, rock, jazz, and beyond. Unlike traditional tremolo systems, the Bigsby preserves the natural resonance of the guitar while offering a vintage aesthetic that complements the Les Paul's elegant ebony look.
True to its historic roots, this Les Paul Custom features a solid mahogany body and neck, delivering rich tonal depth and sustain. The long tenon neck joint enhances stability and resonance, ensuring every note sings with clarity and power. The smooth ebony fretboard not only adds to the guitar’s luxurious feel but also contributes to its articulate response and fast playability. From heavy riffs to delicate arpeggios, this guitar offers a balanced, dynamic tone that shines in any musical setting.
Gibson’s commitment to authenticity extends beyond the tonewoods and pickups, with handwired electronics ensuring a pure, vintage-correct signal path. The combination of CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors provides smooth volume and tone control, allowing you to dial in a range of classic sounds. Vintage-style hardware, including Kluson tuners and an ABR-1 bridge, completes the package, offering period-accurate aesthetics and reliable tuning stability. Every detail of this Les Paul Custom Reissue has been designed to capture the feel and sound of the original 1957 model, making it a truly exceptional instrument that gives you access to a fully vintage experience, from the '57 feel to the Custombucker tones.
