2014 Les Paul Custom Quilt Top Electric Guitar

œHere is the ultimate in a solidbody guitar ¦ The Incomparable Les Paul Custom Guitar, ” Gibson catalog, circa mid-1950s

PRG worked with the Custom Shop to outfit these guitars with custom-voiced "Custom Bucker Plus" pickups, which deliver great clarity with just a tad more ouput and midrange bite that'll cut through a mix or sit beautifully on it's own. We also chose finishes that would best highlight the figured maple tops we hand-selected with the Gibson team in Nashville, TN.

Todays Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a select figured maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance.

The 24-¾" scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany then topped by a 22-fret Richlite fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays and given Gibsons '60s slim neck profile.

Other appointments include Gibsons legendary Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, metal tulip tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, nickel hardware and a 1-11/16 nut width.
