Sweetwater Special Run of a legendary Les Paul
The original 1954 Les Paul Custom is a legend. For this Sweetwater Special Run, Sweetwater's guitar gurus worked with Gibson's Custom Shop to hand-select pick-of-the-litter maple for this guitar's breathtaking book-matched flame maple top. The axe is finished in a jaw-dropping nitro finish that'll knock your socks off. All in, the Les Paul Custom Sweetwater Special Run is one drool-worthy axe.

CustomBucker pickups deliver a staggering range of tone
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to the Les Paul Custom Sweetwater Special Run's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. This axe is fitted with a pair of CustomBuckers with push-pull volume pots that spilt the coils. There's also a phase switch on the lower tone knob. This is the setup made famous by Jimmy Page, and it gives you a staggering range of tone. These pups will power everything from spanky single-coil rhythms to fat, blistering leads. Just listen to any good live Led Zeppelin recording and you'll hear what these electronics can do.

Real-deal nitrocellulose lacquer finish
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Sweetwater Special Run wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the guitar a timeless, classic look. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '50s and '60s - 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 - so your Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Sweetwater Special Run sounds every bit as wicked as it looks!
