Description
Gibson's Custom Shop Modern Les Paul Axcess Standard blends top-notch performance features with vintage Les Paul stylings, making it ideal for the modern musician with classic tastes. With its weight-relieved mahogany body, aggressive dual humbuckers, and Floyd Rose tremolo, this axe was made to be played - hard.
This Les Paul Axcess Standard is one of the most comfortable guitars we've ever had in our shop. Thanks to its carved neck joint and sleek ribcage contour, it sits snug against your body without that uncomfortable digging sensation. Shoulder strain is also a thing of the past with this guitar - thanks to its weight-relieved mahogany and carved maple top, it's impressively light. And, riffing on this Les Paul is an absolute joy, courtesy of its contoured neck heel and joint that gives easy access to all 22 frets.
Powering this guitar is a set of 496R and 498T pickups that have an impressive array of sounds on tap. While these humbuckers can easily channel that iconic humbucker warmth, they shine when churning out a hot snarling tone. If you need a little extra flexibility, don't worry - a push-pull switch on the treble tone knob engages a coil-split for even more sonic exploration.
Complete with a Floyd Rose tailpiece and an R4 locking nut, this Les Paul can dive-bomb and bend like you've never heard before. If you've been searching for a classic Les Paul with modern playability, this Gibson Custom Shop Modern Les Paul Axcess Standard is the guitar for you.
