A 21st Century Les Paul Custom
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
The modern player's choice! The iconic Les Paul Custom is re-imagined in this Axcess version, featuring the new Apex headstock for added strength, redesigned contours for added comfort and fingerboard access, and powerful coil-tapped humbuckers for sonic versatility and strength. The solid Ebony fingerboard retains clarity in every fretted note and chord. Even with all the added features, the Les Paul Axcess Custom is still a Custom Shop model at the core, with showstopping looks thanks to its multi-ply binding, pearl appointments, and gold hardware.
