Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom - Ebony with Ebony Fingerboard
Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Mahogany Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Ebony
The One, the Only Les Paul Custom
Experience the legendary Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in stunning ebony with an ebony fingerboard, exclusively available at Guitar World Australia. This iconic solidbody electric guitar combines elegance with brute strength, featuring a mahogany body, a carved 2-piece maple top, and a fast-action mahogany neck. The smooth ebony fingerboard with medium jumbo frets ensures effortless playability, making it perfect for a wide range of genres from jazz to hard rock.
Unmatched Playability and Classic Design
The Les Paul Custom is renowned for its effortless playability. Originally introduced in 1954, it was dubbed the "Fretless Wonder" for its flat, low-profile frets. Today's model features medium jumbo frets that cater to contemporary playing styles while retaining the ultra-playability that made it famous. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard is adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, adding to the guitar's luxurious feel and look.
Rich, Sustaining Tone
The combination of a mahogany body and a carved 2-piece maple top delivers a dense, sustaining tone with precise note articulation. This tonewood recipe, paired with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, allows the guitar to "breathe," enhancing its sonic qualities over time. The Les Paul Custom not only looks incredible with its gold hardware and classic design but also sounds phenomenal.
Versatile Humbucker Pickups
Equipped with a matched set of 490/498 humbuckers, the Les Paul Custom offers a universe of tones. The 490R neck pickup delivers the warm, chimey tones of an original PAF with added clarity, while the 498T bridge pickup provides increased crunch and sustain with its Alnico V magnet and specially wound coils. Whether you're playing mellow jazz, bone-rattling crunch, or searing leads, these pickups respond beautifully to your touch.
