Description
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in Pink Sparkle Gloss is anything but subtle; it is a bold, unapologetic take on one of Gibson's most iconic designs. Built for players who want classic Les Paul authority with a serious visual edge, this Custom Shop piece blends traditional construction with a finish that demands attention the moment it hits the stage. It is equal parts elegance and attitude, made for those who want their instrument to stand out as much as their playing.
Underneath the flash, this is every bit a Les Paul Custom. A solid mahogany body with a plain maple top delivers the thick sustain, focused low end, and rich midrange that define the model. The addition of weight relief keeps it comfortable without sacrificing that signature depth. Loaded with a 490R in the neck and a 498T in the bridge, this guitar covers a wide tonal spectrum; from smooth, rounded cleans to aggressive, high-output drive that cuts through any mix. It is a setup that feels right at home in rock, hard rock, and beyond.
The mahogany neck features a medium C profile with a long tenon joint, giving it a solid, resonant feel while maintaining smooth playability. Paired with an ebony fingerboard, 12 inch radius, and reissue fret wire, the playing surface is fast, articulate, and built for precision. The Corian nut and Grover kidney-button tuners ensure tuning stability, while the classic Tune-O-Matic and stopbar combination provides reliable sustain and intonation.
Visually, this guitar is all about impact. The Pink Sparkle gloss finish is vibrant and unmistakable, covering the top, back, neck, and sides for a cohesive, high-gloss look with no aging treatment. Gold hardware adds a layer of classic Les Paul Custom luxury, creating a striking contrast against the sparkle finish. Black plastics, speed knobs, and multi-ply binding keep it grounded in Custom territory while letting the finish take center stage.
At Cream City Music, we see this Pink Sparkle Les Paul Custom as a perfect example of how the Custom Shop can push boundaries while staying true to the core of what makes a Les Paul great. It is powerful, refined, and impossible to ignore; a guitar built for players who want to be seen and heard.
