Celebrating 70 years since the 1955 NAMM show, we have this excellent Gibson Custom Shop 1955 NAMM Show Commemorative Edition Les Paul finished in Samoa Beige. The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) is a not-for-profit global trade association dedicated to the music products industry. Since 1902 companies like Gibson would present their finest products to dealers, press, and show visitors at the annual show. In 1955, the show took place in Chicago, IL where Gibson unveiled 5 uniquely finished Les Paul's in metallic nitrocellulose lacquer car finishes – Samoa Beige being one of them. With this commemorative edition guitar, we invite you to own a little piece of history.

For the famed '55 NAMM trade show Les Paul, Custom Shop went to great lengths to recreate the model, as the originals where made in limited quantities and little is known about their whereabouts today. The body is constructed from a single-cutaway, 1-piece lightweight mahogany. The body is capped with a 2-piece plain maple top and is affixed by hide glue. A 1-ply cream royalite strip of binding perfectly wraps around the top and accents the cream plastics. The team at Custom Shop even went as far as color matching the control knobs to match the Samoa Beige finish. The body features 2 Custom Shop Soapbar P-90 pickups that have been hand-wired to 500k CTS potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors.

True to vintage spec, the 1-piece mahogany neck has a long neck tenon and 1950s Chunky "D" shape profile. The bound neck is glued into the body in a traditional set-neck design and is topped with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, 22 historic narrow-tall frets, and aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid fret markers. The headstock features the period correct "low logo" and nylon nut. New to the Les Paul in 1955, a no-wire ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece keeps strings stable and fully adjustable while strings are tuned to pitch with the Kluson tuning machines.

The Les Paul has undergone Gibson's premium Murphy Lab Light Aged finish treatment to provide the look and feel of a 70 year old well-loved instrument. Hardware patina, light checking, and a "broken in" feel bring out the guitars character and invite you to play it without being too nice. The Les Paul comes complete in its brown/pink Lifton 5-latch case and is accompanied by its COA.

Although most of the originals have been lost to time, this incredible Gibson Custom Shop recreation of the 1955 NAMM Samoa Beige Les Paul is 1 of 70 examples worldwide. Collect a piece of Les Paul history and play this one loud!

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .
