The Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom solidbody electric guitar takes the traditional look and feel of the Les Paul in a new direction. A true modern tone machine, the Les Paul Classic Custom gives you the time-tested tone that's made the Les Paul the cornerstone of modern rock. A pair of amazing PAF-style humbuckers lets you instantly call up the soul of classic rock or push your tone into the next century. What's more, the Les Paul Classic Custom features a unique baked maple fingerboard, adding spank and snap to your sound. Ask your Sales Engineer about the Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom today!

Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Solid combination of tonewoods
  • Baked maple fretboard looks sharp and adds spank
  • Perfect pair of PAF-style pickups

Solid combination of tonewoods
The Les Paul Classic Custom features a combination of tonewoods that's set the bar for rock guitars - and for good reason! The tried-and-true combination of a genuine mahogany body topped with beautiful carved maple practically define the Gibson Les Paul. You can count on the Les Paul Classic Custom to deliver the rich and tone with a well-balanced top end you crave.

Baked maple fretboard looks sharp and adds spank
Here's something you don't see every day, a baked maple fretboard. Why does Gibson use baked maple? The answer's simple. Baking removes the water from the Les Paul Classic Custom's maple fretboard, adding a snappier attack to its natural spank. What's more, baked maple is both environmentally friendly and it gives the Les Paul Classic Custom a cool, original look.

Perfect pair of PAF-style pickups
Nothing beats the sound of classic PAF humbuckers like the ones found on the Les Paul Classic Custom. That's why Gibson brought back the original PAF sound, when they created their '57 Classic humbucker, which perfectly capture the sound of the original dual-coil model. Warm, full, and beautifully balanced, these amazing pickups give the Les Paul Classic Custom that instantly recognizable Les Paul sound.

Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Versatile solidbody electric guitar with a unique sound
  • Genuine mahogany body with a beautiful carved maple top
  • Multi-ply binding and white acrylic inlays provide classic Les Paul look
  • Baked maple fingerboard adds snap and spank to your sound
  • Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers give you traditional PAF tone
  • Deluxe hardshell case included

Best "Les" money can buy!

by Barry from Red Bank, NJ

I own or have owned every Gibson model "Les Paul" ever made and up until now my favorite was the "Les Paul" 2008 Standard, this new LP truly and honestly puts that very fine axe to shame. First, for ... read more [+]any of you folks that are concerned this maodel has a "baked maple neck" instead of rosewood, we've run into dumb luck. I tell you hands down, the Baked Maple Neck is 1000 times smoother in terms of its' action then rosewood, you'll be shocked at action this axe has. Bottom line, we all know the price of this LP is very reasonable compared to the higher line LP's but the finish and the action make it a truly great buy. If you buy it, you be glad you did, no jive. close [-]
