Iconic black-on-black aesthetics with a rocking pair of humbuckers under the hood, this Gibson Custom Made to Measure Les Paul Custom is a high-power tribute to the company’s most elegant LP. This guitar’s maple-topped mahogany construction captures the vibe of a later-period Les Paul Custom, draped with eye-catching multi-ply double binding. The mahogany neck is secured to the body with a long tenon neck joint for superior stability and sustain, and it’s all topped off with a sleek ebony fingerboard. To contrast with this Les Paul Custom’s high-class exterior, Gibson Custom loaded this guitar with 490R and 498T pickups — two raunchy humbuckers that defy the typical PAF-style pickups you’d find on a Custom with a rock-ready, high-output snarl. Finally, the entire guitar sports a very lightly aged VOS finish for vintage authenticity. It all adds up to a masterfully built Gibson Custom that strikes a precise balance between modern tonal firepower and vintage-inspired visuals.
