Overview

Classic style and tone with built-in sonic expansion capabilities.

A Custom Shop Les Paul Standard exhibits the finest in materials, construction and historical accuracy, making it one of the best sounding and playing electric guitars on the planet. Additionally, the innovative new Gibson Custom Burstdriver provides players built-in sonic expansion capabilities.

Essentially a high-end analog overdrive pedal built into the backplate of the guitar, the Burstdriver is engaged with a quick tap of the push/push tone knob. A simple twist can transform the dry signal into anything from fat clean boost to a warm, thick overdrive all the way to a snarling distortion.

The effect is entirely true bypass and the level, tone and gain controls can be adjusted using a guitar pick. The Gibson Custom Burstdriver Les Paul Standard your new secret sonic weapon. Includes hardshell case.
