Description
Experience a meaner, darker side of Gibson with the Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard, a tonal powerhouse that blends timeless Les Paul designs with cutting-edge modern features. Fitted with a rockin' pair of 490R and 498T humbuckers and a SlimTaper "C" neck, this axe was born for fast, hard riffing, encouraging high-gain musicians to give it a spin. Let's take a closer look at what the Gibson Les Paul Axcess Standard has to offer!
For starters, this axe boasts a solid mahogany body with a figured maple top, giving it a vibrant appearance. The top's intricate figuring pairs excellently with the Bengal Burst finish, black speed knobs, and mother-of-pearl block inlays, creating a premium look that's bound to draw attention. The Les Paul Axcess Standard isn't just a looker, though - it's built for performance. Longtime Gibson fans will love this model's comfy SlimTaper "C" shaped mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, which provide a fast and familiar feel. They'll also love its redesigned contours which enable speedier playing.
Tonally, the Les Paul Axcess Standard delivers the legendary Gibson sound we all adore. The 490R neck pickup provides a rich, vintage-inspired PAF tone with an enhanced upper midrange presence. In contrast, the 498T bridge humbucker offers a higher-output sound with a crunchier, beefier midrange, making it perfect for hard rock. Additionally, both pickups feature coil-splitting for when you need brighter single-coil tones.
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard is one of the best guitars for musicians who love the Les Paul design but need something with a faster feel and a broader sonic range. Whether you're dishing out high-gain riffs or performing classic rock tunes, this axe promises an incredible playing experience that'll keep you coming back for more. Reach out today to make it your next go-to guitar!
