Description

Considered to be one of the most classy instruments of all time, the Gibson Les Paul Custom is a looker. So naturally, when spec'ing this one for the Custom Shop Made to Measure Program, we took every detail into consideration.

This black beauty features a 2-piece plain maple top and 1-piece mahogany body. It's loaded with '68 Custom Humbuckers, they sound well balanced and provide plenty of bite. The body is accented with aged nickel hardware, witch hat style knobs, and era accurate "thumb bleeders."

The slimmer neck profile on this Custom feels incredibly comfortable. Chords and licks can be played with ease. The neck is constructed from solid mahogany. The ebony fretboard features a 12'' radius, Mother of Pearl inlays, 22 Medium-Jumbo frets, and nylon nut to meet at the headstock. No Custom is complete without the signature diamond inlay on the headstock and Kluson Waffleback tuners.

This 68' Made to Measure Les Paul Custom includes a Custom Shop hardshell case and Custom Shop booklet.
