Les Paul Custom: Elegance and Brute Strength

Nothing beats a Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom solidbody electric guitar, especially when it comes to style and playability! Here's your chance to take home a classic Gibson axe, built to Gibson's exacting Vintage Original Spec (VOS). At Sweetwater, we've seen countless Les Pauls come through our shop, and this latest wave is sure turning heads. This time, Gibson's matching up a sweet maple neck and fingerboard with their usual tonewood combo. That means you get the same mellow mahogany warmth, plus the bright bite of maple. What's more, a set of hot humbuckers makes this Gibson Les Paul Custom perfect for a wide range of styles.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • You can't go wrong with this classic axe
  • Historically accurate VOS (Vintage Original Spec) guitar
  • Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for classic looks and sound
  • Humbucking dynamic duo serves up classic fat, snarling Les Paul tone
  • Maple fingerboard and neck look sharp and add spank

You can't go wrong with this classic axe
The rich and smoky sound of the Les Paul has defined rock for decades. If you long for the epic sound of classic humbuckers and resonant mahogany, you just can't beat the Les Paul Custom. This iconic solidbody electric guitar defines the Gibson legacy as much as it defines the essence of modern rock. So why settle for less? If you want a true modern classic, pick up a Gibson Les Paul Custom.

Historically accurate VOS (Vintage Original Spec) guitar
There have been a lot of recreations of the original Les Paul guitars over the decades. However, not all of them were dead-on accurate - indeed, few were. The reason is simple: Gibson had stopped building these guitars for quite a while and the original specs were lost. It has taken the Custom, Art & Historic Division a long time to locate really great examples of those early instruments. Now armed with the most accurate measurements, right down to the smallest detail, Gibson's Custom Shop is releasing what it's calling the Vintage Original Spec (VOS) Series, which includes this gorgeous Les Paul Custom.

Nitrocellulose lacquer finish for classic looks and sound
This Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a well-aged classic.

Humbucking dynamic duo serves up classic fat, snarling Les Paul tone
You want fat, snarling tone? The Gibson Les Paul Custom serves it up big time. But this axe is perfect for any style of music. Whether you're delivering your message with mellow chorused jazz tones - or a blistering liquid inferno - the Les Paul Custom Figured rewards your touch with world-class responsiveness. This impeccable guitar does it all.

Maple fingerboard and neck look sharp and add spank
Here's something you don't see every day, a maple fingerboard and neck on a Gibson Les Paul Custom. Why maple? Because serious guitar players like you are looking for the extra edge and bite it gives your sound. What's more, it totally matches the look of this sweet Les Paul Custom guitar.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • An iconic solidbody electric guitar from one of the world's most renowned guitar makers
  • Huge range of tone lets you play across a wide range of musical styles
  • Solid mahogany body topped with gorgeous carved maple for extra tonal complexity
  • Maple fingerboard and neck add extra bite and spank to your tone
  • Gibson Humbucking pickups serve up classic fat, snarling Les Paul tone
  • Custom Shop hardshell case included
