Description
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in Root Beer is a striking blend of timeless design and modern refinement, built by the skilled hands of the Gibson Custom Shop team in Nashville. Dressed in a luscious gloss Root Beer finish over a highly figured AAAA maple top, this guitar is every bit as rich and deep in tone as it is in appearance. It's a standout for serious players who appreciate Custom Shop quality and vintage-inspired style with just the right touch of contemporary edge.
Beneath the figured maple top lies a weight-relieved mahogany body that keeps things resonant but manageable on stage or in the studio. The dark walnut finish on the back, neck, and sides adds depth and contrast to the brilliant top, giving this Les Paul a look that's both warm and bold.
Powering this beauty is a trusted pairing of Gibson's 490R and 498T humbuckers. These pickups offer a wide tonal spectrum, from smooth, vintage-voiced cleans to high-output growl with tight low end and focused mids. They're versatile enough to cover blues, rock, and heavier styles without sacrificing clarity or response.
The neck features the LPC Modern Medium C profile, measuring .82" to .965" for a comfortable, fast feel that suits everything from rhythm chording to solo work. The ebony fingerboard is smooth and resonant, enhanced with 22 Jescar FW45100 frets and traditional pearl block inlays. With a 24 3/4" scale length and rock-solid tuning from Grover Kidney tuners, this guitar is a true performer at any level.
Nickel hardware adds a sleek, vintage touch, while the Tune-o-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide excellent tuning stability and sustain. Multi-ply binding throughout and the unmistakable Les Paul Custom aesthetic tie the whole instrument together in a package that's as refined as it is road-ready.
This Les Paul Custom in Root Beer offers the perfect balance of elegance, playability, and tonal authority. It's a work of art, built to be played, and ready to inspire.
