Description
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard in Translucent Blue offers a fresh interpretation of one of the most iconic electric guitars ever built. Created for players who want the unmistakable voice and craftsmanship of a Gibson Custom instrument with a contemporary visual twist, this model blends classic Les Paul character with modern appointments that make it equally suited for today's professional musicians. It captures everything players love about a Les Paul while presenting it in a bold new finish that highlights the beauty of its figured maple top.
Its mahogany body features traditional nine-hole weight relief, making the guitar noticeably more comfortable without sacrificing the rich sustain and focused midrange that define the Les Paul sound. A figured AA maple top enhances articulation and visual depth beneath the striking Translucent Blue gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The mahogany neck is carved to a versatile Medium C profile and joined with a long neck tenon for exceptional stability and resonance. A rosewood fingerboard with narrow tall frets provides effortless bends, smooth chording, and comfortable playability across the entire neck. Burstbucker 2 and Burstbucker 3 humbuckers deliver classic PAF-inspired warmth, dynamic response, and enough output to handle everything from articulate cleans to saturated rock tones.
Premium hardware completes the package with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, lightweight Stop Bar tailpiece, Kluson Deluxe tuners, and nickel appointments that provide excellent tuning stability and classic Gibson styling. Cream plastics and gold Top Hat knobs create an elegant contrast against the vivid blue finish, resulting in an instrument that feels equally timeless and contemporary.
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard in Translucent Blue is built for players who appreciate traditional Gibson craftsmanship but want an instrument that stands apart visually. With its exceptional tone, premium construction, and eye-catching finish, it is a modern Custom Shop Les Paul that remains unmistakably true to its legendary heritage.
