This Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard solidbody electric guitar was designed to be played, and played, and played. The Gibson Custom Shop joined its smoothly carved neck joint with a belly scarf, or a ribcage contour. This way, your guitar hugs much closer to your body without that familiar, uncomfortable digging sensation. What's more, the Gibson Custom Shop gave this Les Paul Axcess Standard a slightly thinner body, comprising weight-relieved mahogany with a carved maple top, so the instrument feels refreshingly light whether you're standing, sitting, or just plain rocking out.
Special neck joint for a heel-less feelThe Axcess in the Les Paul Axcess Standard comes from its slight structural alteration - you get even easier access to those upper frets, thanks to the way the neck heel and portions of the back and neck joint have been contoured. As you run your hand up the neck, you'll get that heel-less feel right up to the 22nd fret. Playing lead? It's no problem with the Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard solidbody electric guitar.
Dual humbucking pickups give you aggressively-hot high outputIt just wouldn't be a Les Paul without humbuckers, and this Les Paul Axcess Standard solidbody electric guitar features Gibson Custom Shop-style premium tone, thanks to its exposed-coil 496R and 498T pickups. While perfectly capable of warm vocal tones, these hot humbuckers really shine when pumping out fat growls and metallic screams. Plus, a push-pull switch on the treble tone knob lets you coil split for even more tonal diversity.
Floyd Rose tailpiece for bending, twisting, and dive-bombingThe most noticeable addition to this Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard solidbody electric guitar is its Floyd Rose tailpiece. In the past, adding a Floyd Rose to a Les Paul could seriously compromise the guitar's stability if not perfectly installed. That's why the Gibson Custom Shop installed the Floyd Rose personally and added an R4 locking nut. Not only can you add those crazy dive-bombs and subtle vibrato tones to your playing, but you can also do so confidently - the R4 promises exceptional tuning stability, so your sound goes right back to pitch.
