Gibson Custom

collapse expand iconDescription

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 that adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything genre, from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds.
