Designed to Be the Best

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.

As the flagship model from Gibson Custom, the Les Paul Custom lives up to the high standards set by its 1950s archetype while evolving to a level of tone and performance more suited to today's musical demands. Beneath the layers of its "tuxedo" appointments lies the crisp, edgy voice of a matched 490/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body which adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds!

    Estimados

    "Buenas noches, Ya en Argentina luego de poder traer la guitarra con los cuidados correspondientes quiero comentarles mis sensaciones. La realidad la guitarra es fantástica y muy bonita. Mi sugerencia a tener en cuenta es que por ser un producto de selección debería traer alguna franela de cuidado y una correa. Sé que al momento de encargarla esto no estaba incluido pero me parece que sería un detalle importante. En el caso del estuche noté olor a pegamento ,esto no sé si es por que se debe,pero es un detalle que no noté en otras marcas. El resto son todas palabras de agradecimiento por la calidad !!! Un abrazo, Guillermo"
