Breathtaking quilt top
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Class 5 Quilt Top sports jaw-dropping visuals, courtesy of its glorious quilt maple top. Zoom in close, and revel in what is one of the most delectable guitar tops we've seen here at Sweetwater (and we see a lot of them). Tastefully framed with cream binding, this axe is truly something to behold.

Chambered Ultra-Lite body
The Gibson CustomLes Paul Class 5 Quilt Top is comfortably lightweight. Back in the day, playing a Les Paul onstage night after night usually required regular visits to your chiropractor. The hunk of mahogany and maple that produced the prodigious LP sustain was also quite heavy. No longer. Gibson's figured out how to retain the legendary Les Paul sound, while significantly reducing the weight of the guitar by strategically chambering the body. They call it "Ultra-Lite," and if you're a Les Paul fan, it's a revelation.
