A Fresh Look for the Classic Les Paul Custom

Gibson Custom took a different approach to this Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition, but the feel and tone is classic Les Paul all the way. Due to disruptions in the supply of ebony, the traditional fingerboard material for Les Paul Customs, this Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition sports a layered rosewood fingerboard. Two thin rosewood pieces are layered together with alternating grain directions, resulting in an incredibly rigid marriage of the two pieces. It's a beautiful complement to the rich Maduro Brown finish, inspired by the color of Maduro broadleaf tobacco. It's a distinctive look to go with the distinctive LP tone you'll get from the dual '57 Classic humbucking pickups. If you're looking for the epitome of Gibson Custom craftsmanship with a non-standard look, you'll love the Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic Les Paul design, with a rosewood twist
  • Tonal excellence from dual '57 Classic humbuckers
  • Gibson Custom quality and craftsmanship

Classic Les Paul design, with a rosewood twist
Tradition dictates that the Les Paul Custom is bestowed with a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard. Due to global supply interruptions, the LP Custom Maduro Brown Edition sports an innovative layered rosewood fingerboard. Created from two thin slabs of rosewood, joined with alternating grain directions, this fingerboard is ultra-rigid and complements the look of the Maduro Brown finish.

Tonal excellence from dual '57 Classic humbuckers
Dark and sultry rhythms, crunchy overdrive and searing lead tones are all at your command with the Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition. Two '57 Classic humbuckers give you the wide tonal range that made the Les Paul one of the most played and recorded guitars of all time. No matter what style of music you play, you'll find the tone you need with these pickups on this guitar.

Gibson Custom quality and craftsmanship
Gibson's Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimizes the fretboard and nut for incredibly accurate intonation and a "just right" feel. And little touches like the neck/body binding and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel, they remain true to the Les Paul Custom Series as well as Gibson's history.

Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Maduro Brown Edition Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Timeless Les Paul feel and tone, with a unique Maduro Brown finish and a rosewood fretboard to match
  • One-piece mahogany body for classic Les Paul sustain and tonal richness
  • Two-piece plain maple top provides brightness and note definition
  • Incredibly sleek look with nickel hardware and black speedknobs
  • Dual '57 Classic humbucking pickups have a wide tonal range
  • Single-ply white neck binding feels smooth and looks great
  • Custom Shop hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity included
