Straight from the artisans at the Gibson Custom Shop, this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom is pure musical nirvana incarnate. Dressed to the nines with high-quality features and functions, this Les Paul Custom struts with a dark aesthetic and crisp tone to make any and every Les Paul fans' head turn.

For Gibson fans throughout time, there's little quite like a Les Paul Custom. Gibson's premier "tuxedo" model, this guitar presents the red-carpet treatment of Les Pauls. Everything here starts with a solid mahogany cut shaped to the iconic Les Paul single-cutaway form. This mahogany is topped with a carved two-piece plain maple cap to enhance brightness and top-end chirp. Wrapped in an authentic gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this deep black Les Paul Custom shines with a cool shade.

Reaching out, this Gibson Custom piece brings on a mahogany neck. Additionally decked in nitrocellulose lacquer, this neck offers a classic feel in the palm moving from higher to lower registers. This mahogany neck pairs up with an ebony fingerboard lined with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. Perfect for a great balance of space and articulation, this board measures to a fast twelve-inch radius and is lined with Mother of Pearl block inlays.

Sonically, this Custom comes to life with two crisp humbuckers. A Gibson 490R in the neck and 498T in the bridge coalesce for a punchy, warm profile on every level. Authentic Gibson kick moves throughout this model for a guitar to perform all night on any stage. This sonic experience is backed up by a number of sturdy hardware specifications. A Corian nut and Grover Kidney tuning machines meet at the headstock for smooth stringing and solid intonation. At the scale's opposite end, a Tune-O-Matic bridge with Stop Bar tailpiece grounds strings stably to the body for a solid transfer of motion. This Gibson Custom Shop travels with an included hardshell case.

All dressed up with nowhere to go, this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom has it all.
