Gibson Custom

The crème de la crème of LP designs!

All the glowing vintage beauty of the deep metal-flake gold top with the thick, gorgeous tone of "Patent Applied for Humbuckers" the first year they came out. Now called BurstBuckers (a 1 at the neck and a 2 at the bridge), they're joined to the original CTS pots and bumble bee caps for totally authentic tone. Solid, non-weight relieved mahogany back. Early '50s rounded neck profile provides vintage feel, too. Includes hardshell case.

A Superior Instrument in Every Way

| Review By: Tom Willbanks | 10 months, 1 week ago

Quality:

Superior tonewoods, perfect leveling of frets from the factory.  Electronics (Burstbuckers) are as quiet as can be, and extremely responsive and powerful.

Overall:

Many people criticize Gibson for overpricing their guitars.  For a long  time I agreed with that...until I heard this instrument.  The main  appeal of this instrument is its sound:  it is the equivalent of a fine  wine that has aged for many years and has complex characteristics.  Yes  it costs a lot, but if you invest in this guitar you will be very, very  glad you did.  It's worth every penny.  Superior tonewoods, vintage specs, and rock-solid craftsmanship are all prevalent in this instrument.  It is responsive to the subtlest touch and when you play hard it reciprocates in kind.  The depth of sound is incredible:  I have never heard such stark delineation between the third (G) and second (B) string - you really have to make a decision which string you're going to use for the sound you want!

 

If you are a fan of Les Pauls, this guitar will satisfy your every desire.  You'll never want another.
