Description
There's something special about a Silverburst Les Paul Custom that just screams rock 'n' roll. Originally introduced in the late '70s, the Silverburst Les Paul has become a favorite of several legendary guitarists, most notably Tool's Adam Jones. This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom is a killer guitar that celebrates over four decades of the Silverburst Les Paul, earning it a spot in any serious guitarist's collection.
This guitar features a mahogany body with a plain maple top, a timeless tonewood pairing that provides a rich tonal foundation. The 12"-radius ebony fingerboard plays with a smooth feel that's comfortable for both rhythm and lead work, while the elegant mother-of-pearl block inlays offer visual sophistication. A corian nut and 22 medium-jumbo frets complete the neck, enhancing playability, intonation, and tuning stability.
The Silverburst Les Paul Custom is a tonal titan that's ready for action, thanks to its 490R neck and 498T bridge humbuckers. These pickups are voiced to produce that classic PAF sound but with a more muscular response. The bridge pickup specifically combines the power and punch of an Alnico 5 magnet with additional windings, emphasizing the upper midrange for better crunch and sustain. Simply put, if you love aggressive hard-rock tones, you'll love this Les Paul.
Other notable appointments include Grover Kidney tuners, black speed knobs, and a hardshell case for optimal protection. Reach out now for an in-depth description of this gorgeous Silverburst Gibson Les Paul Custom!
