Overview

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 its "tuxedo" appointments 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!

I've been playing guitar for over 50 yrs. I'm 66 and after having hundreds of guitars over the yrs: cheap & expensive ones this the nicest guitar I have ever played. I have a Gibson Les Paul Std now and this Custom beats even the the Std. The only thing that shocked and surprised me was the Pick Up Selector switch was loose which kinda pissed me off but I took off the back cover and tightened it. I would normally give a 5 star review to any and all the Gibson Std's (17 to date) first one I bought in 1977 new for $700. somehow this slipped by Gibson Custom Shop... I am a Professional Player since 1977.
