The Pinnacle of Elegance and Performance

The Gibson Les Paul Custom ebony guitar is the flagship model of the Gibson Custom Shop, offering a masterful blend of classic design and modern innovation. Modeled after the 1950s original, this Gibson Les Paul delivers legendary tone and stunning aesthetics while incorporating advanced features to meet the demands of today’s players. With its sleek ebony finish, premium materials, and versatile humbucker set, the Les Paul Custom sets a high standard for performance and style.

Timeless Design in a Stunning Finish

The Gibson Les Paul Custom is as much a visual masterpiece as it is a musical one. Its two-piece maple top and weight-relieved mahogany body are finished in a flawless ebony gloss, exuding sophistication and style. Paired with multi-ply binding and gold hardware, this Les Paul has a timelesslook that commands attention on any stage. The solid ebony fingerboard, adorned with pearl block inlays, adds to its luxurious appearance while ensuring smooth playability.

Powerful 490/498 Humbuckers for Versatile Tone

This Gibson Les Paul is equipped with a matched set of 490R and 498T humbuckers, delivering a crisp, edgy tone that’s perfect for a wide range of genres. The 490R in the neck position offers warm, rich tones ideal for jazz, blues, and rhythm playing, while the 498T in the bridge provides a punchy, aggressive sound suited for rock and lead work. The combination of these pickups ensures that the Les Paul Custom can handle everything from clean, articulate passages to heavy, overdriven solos with ease.

Unmatched Sustain and Playability

The long neck tenon of the Gibson Les Paul Custom guitar provides exceptional sustain, allowing notes to ring out with clarity and power. The weight-relieved mahogany body enhances comfort without sacrificing resonance, making it perfect for extended playing sessions. Its solid ebony fingerboard offers a smooth, responsive surface, while the medium jumbo frets and 24.75" scale length ensure effortless bends and precise intonation.

Built for Professionals and Collectors

As part of Gibson’s Custom Shop lineup, this Gibson Les Paul is built with the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. From its premium tonewoods to its hand-finished appointments, this guitar is designed to perform at the highest level.
