As the flagship model from Gibson Custom Shop, the Les Paul Custom lives up to the high standards set by its 1950s archetype while evolving to a level of tone and performance more suited to today's musical demands. Beneath the layers of Copper Bronze Sparkle lies the crisp, edgy voice of a matched 490/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body which adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds!During the Winter of 2024, we were invited to visit the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville TN. We were fortunate to hand select the woods and finishes for this particular instrument.Other Features Include:Body Shape Les PaulTop 2-Piece Plain MapleBack 1-Piece MahoganyBinding Multi-plyFinish Nitrocellulose GlossNeck Material Solid MahoganyLPC Modern Medium C-Shape (0.818" /0.963")Scale Length 24.75" / 628.65mmFingerboard Material Solid EbonyFingerboard Radius 12"Number Of Frets 22Frets Medium-JumboNut Material CorianNut Width 1.69" / 42.85mmEnd of Board Width 2.24" / 56.89mmInlays Mother of Pearl BlockJoint Long TenonHardware Finish GoldTuner Plating GoldBridge Tune-O-MaticTailpiece Stop BarTuning Machines Grover KidneyPickguard Black Multi-PlyTrussRod 2-way AdjustableTruss Rod Cover 2-Ply Engraved Les Paul CustomControl Knobs Black Speed KnobsSwitch Tip CreamSwitchwasher BlackControl Covers BlackStrap Buttons BrassMounting Rings Black M69Pickup Covers GoldNeck Pickup 490R HumbuckerBridge Pickup 498T HumbuckerControls 2 500K CTS Volume Pots, 2 500K CTS Tone Pots, Hand-Wired Harness, Switchcraft Toggle SwitchPickup Selector 3-Way SwitchcraftOutput Jack SwitchcraftStrings .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046Case Custom Shop HardshellAccessories Certificate of Authenticity BookletLPC-PSL00000021110 lbs 6 ozCS403795For more information on this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom, please contact us.
