Les Paul Custom: Elegance and Brute Strength

The Gibson Les Paul Custom Figured is equal parts elegance and brute strength. From Al Di Meola to Slash, Gibson's Les Paul has defined fat, snarling, heavy overdrive guitar sound. Fitted with a carved maple figured top and armed with a pair of humbuckers that can go from mellow to sonic annihilation in a heartbeat, this majestic beast is ultra-responsive to your touch, courtesy of its rounded '50s neck, lightning fast maple fingerboard, and low-profile "fretless wonder" frets. Gibson's Les Paul Custom Figured is as good as it gets.

LP Custom elegance, playability, and brute strength
The Gibson Les Paul Custom Figured sports classic LP Custom playability - which is to say, "effortless." Soon after it was introduced, players started referring to it as the "Fretless Wonder". It wasn't fretless, of course, but Gibson had fitted the Custom with ultra-low-profile frets in a bound ebony fingerboard, which allowed your fingers to fly over the fretboard. Using maple - arguably even "faster" than ebony - for the fingerboard adds a whole new dimension the the legend that is the Les Paul Custom.

Breathtaking carved figured maple top
The Les Paul Custom Figured is stunning. Period. Gibson has carefully chosen the carved figured maple top and finished it with a jaw-dropping nitro finish. Gold hardware gives the Les Paul Custom Figured the perfect finishing touch.
