Like any Gibson Custom Shop guitar, this Les Paul is an outstanding instrument in every aspect of design. Its lightweight mahogany body and 2-piece plain maple top deliver a rich resonance, blending warm, punchy mids and articulate highs. Meanwhile, its '50s Rounded Medium "C" neck and glass-smooth Indian rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable and traditional playing experience - exactly what you'd want from a vintage-inspired masterpiece.
Plug this beauty into a classic tube amp, and you'll discover the stunning power of its Custombucker Alnico III pickups. These humbuckers project that timeless Les Paul tone - expect a full, open-sounding neck pickup and a powerful bridge humbucker with plenty of snarl and bite.
