5A Quilt Modern Les Paul Custom with F-Holes
This Gibson Custom Select Les Paul™ Custom 5A Quilt with F-Holes in Cobra Burst features a chambered body, and highly figured maple with a special Cobra Burst finish. Gibson Custom Select offers unique instruments that are made in small batches with special features such as upgraded tonewoods and special finishes. These guitars are designed by Gibson’s top experts who hand-pick all the features on the guitar. This instrument is based on a Les Paul Custom from the Modern Collection with some features that can only be found in Gibson Custom Select or Made to Measure.
The Les Paul Custom from the Modern Collection is the modern interpretation of the Les Paul Custom that was released in 1957, otherwise known as the “Black Beauty.” Back in the early days, the Les Paul Custom was made from one of piece of solid mahogany, usually equipped with three humbuckers™, had multi-ply binding around the body, and an Ebony finish. Much of the Les Paul Custom has stayed true to the original design, but the Les Paul Custom has been modernized throughout the decades. Now crafted from a mahogany body with a maple top, the modern Les Paul Custom has player-friendly features like a Les Paul Custom Modern C-Shape neck profile and 490R and 498T pickups. The split-diamond inlay on the headstock and mother-of-pearl block inlaid throughout the ebony fretboard still give the modern Les Paul Custom its classic aesthetics. Multi-ply binding is still featured on the top and back of the body with a more binding around the headstock.
This Gibson Custom Select Les Paul Custom is a unique offering that features a chambered body and a 5A figured maple top. The top has traditional f-holes, which are usually featured on the ES™ family of Gibson guitars. The chambered mahogany body removes mass from the body of the guitar, which lightens the weight compared to if it were completely solid. This chambered body construction blends the techniques of a solid body guitar with the construction techniques of a semi-hollow guitar like the ES-335. This Les Paul Custom is also finished in a striking Cobra Burst finish, which gives this guitar a cutting-edge appearance. Complete with the gold hardware that Les Paul Customs typically feature, the Custom Shop pulled out all the stops for this special Gibson Custom Select model. With top-tier figured tonewoods mixed with an unusual construction, this Gibson Custom Select Les Paul Custom has a look and an attitude of its own.
Featuring modern aesthetics mixed with traditional appointments, this Les Paul Custom showcases what the Gibson Custom Shop is capable of. Features like the f-holes paired with a 5A quilt maple top are things that can only be found through Gibson Custom Select and Made to Measure. Complete with a hardshell case and a Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity, this guitar is a modern take on a classic model.
