Description
This isn't your first guitar; it's the one you've been dreaming of owning. The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Figured in Root Beer is built for serious players-those who crave tone, presence, and a level of sophistication that only a Custom Shop instrument can deliver. With its lush, earthy finish and classic nickel hardware, this guitar doesn't shout for attention; it commands it with quiet authority. There's a '70s aura here, despite the lack of a relic treatment. Like a perfectly preserved relic that's seen smoky stages, analog tape, and the hands of players who meant every note.
Crafted with a handpicked AAA figured maple top, this Les Paul's visual presence is nothing short of arresting. The Root Beer finish shimmers with depth and warmth, set against a walnut gloss back and sides that add a luxurious contrast. 7-ply top binding and 5-ply back binding nod to classic Les Paul Custom styling, while the stripped ebony fingerboard with tapered mother-of-pearl block inlays adds an upscale, boutique edge.
Tonally, this guitar is a monster. The weight-relieved mahogany body keeps it manageable on long sets without compromising its signature Les Paul sustain. The Modern Medium C-shaped neck is comfortable and familiar, just chunky enough to dig into without being unwieldy. Under the hood, CustomBucker Zebra humbuckers deliver everything from syrupy jazz cleans to thick, vocal overdrive, covering genres like classic rock, blues, and even modern high-gain tones with ease. A rock-solid Tune-O-Matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and Grover tuners round out the hardware, keeping intonation tight and tuning locked in.
Every detail, from the Corian nut to the black speed knobs, reflects the meticulous care Gibson puts into its Custom Shop instruments. Visually and sonically, the Root Beer finish ties it all together; rich, grounded, and timeless.
At Cream City Music, we're always drawn to guitars that tell a story before you even plug them in. The Les Paul Custom Figured in Root Beer is that kind of guitar; a stunning fusion of vintage soul and modern performance that feels like it's been waiting for the right hands to bring it to life.
