Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere aren't many guitars as iconic as a Gibson Les Paul, and very few evoke a classiness like a Les Paul Custom in Ebony.  The sleek finish match with gold hardware makes a statement the moment the case is opened.  But it's not just about looks, and this isn't just a reissue - it's one of the best playing and sound Les Paul's that we've had here. For those that deman the best, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the flagship model from Gibson Custom Shop, the Les Paul Custom lives up to the high standards set by its 1950s archetype while evolving to a level of tone and performance more suited to today's musical demands. Beneath the layers of its \"tuxedo\" appointments lies the crisp, edgy voice of a matched 490\/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body which adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou get a combination of warmth and sustain from the mahogany body with a solid snap and clarity from the maple top.  The mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard is the classic pairing that results in a lively instrument.   The thin nitro lacquer contributes to this, as it doesn't choke out the tone - it allows the guitar to breathe.  The resonance of this particular Les Paul is seriously impressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an easy guitar to play, with a Medium C neck profile, topped with 22 Medium Jumbo frets and a 12\" radius.  You'll be able to play it all night and bend to your heart's content without fear of fretting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the guitar really shines is the tone, brought to the forefront with a perfectly matched set of Gibson humbuckers.  You get a 490R in the neck position for warm, classic old school PAF-style tones, perfect for rhythm playing or leads that need to sing.  In the bridge position, you get a 498T for a hotter unleashing of pure bite and power to cut through the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny Gibson Custom Shop build will be impressive, but this Les Paul Custom takes it up a notch, whether it be for the looks, feel or sound - everything combined results in it being one of favorite guitars here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBody\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Styles: \u003c\/b\u003eLes Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Shape: \u003c\/b\u003eLes Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Piece Plain Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack: \u003c\/b\u003e1-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003eMulti-ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Finish: \u003c\/b\u003eGloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeck\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfile: \u003c\/b\u003e50s Rounded Medium C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e628.65 mm \/ 24.75 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Material: \u003c\/b\u003eEbony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e304.8 mm \/ 12 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFret Count: \u003c\/b\u003e22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrets: \u003c\/b\u003eMedium-Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Material: \u003c\/b\u003eCorian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e42.85 mm \/ 1.687 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnd Of Board Width: \u003c\/b\u003e56.89 mm \/ 2.239 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInlays: \u003c\/b\u003eMother of Pearl Block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoint: \u003c\/b\u003eLong Tenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHardware\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish: \u003c\/b\u003eGold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003eTune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTailpiece: \u003c\/b\u003eStop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines: \u003c\/b\u003eGrover Kidney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod: \u003c\/b\u003e2-way Adjustable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003e2-Ply Engraved Les Paul Custom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Knobs: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack Speed Knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch Tip: \u003c\/b\u003eCream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitch washer: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJack Plate Cover: \u003c\/b\u003eGold-plated Brass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControl Covers: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrap Buttons: \u003c\/b\u003eBrass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMounting Rings: \u003c\/b\u003eBlack M69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Covers: \u003c\/b\u003eGold-Plated\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElectronics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003e490R Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003e498T Humbucker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003e2 500K CTS Volume Pots, 2 500K CTS Tone Pots, Hand-Wired Harness, Switchcraft Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Selector: \u003c\/b\u003e3-Way Switchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Jack: \u003c\/b\u003eSwitchcraft\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMiscelleneous\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings Gauge: \u003c\/b\u003e.010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase: \u003c\/b\u003eCustom Shop Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccessories: \u003c\/b\u003eCertificate of Authenticity Booklet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43533902905587,"sku":"00GIB066","price":4999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/FenLRG_027ccb07-b179-4164-b736-393109b2b496.jpg?v=1738281476","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-les-paul-custom-with-ebony-fingerboard-gloss-ebony-with-case","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
