Description
The all-new Gibson Custom Shop "Phenix" pays tribute to Peter Frampton's legendary Les Paul Custom, the guitar that survived a plane crash and made its way back to Frampton over three decades later. With its weight-relieved mahogany body, powerful CustomBucker pickups, and gorgeous ebony finish, this Les Paul Custom is an extraordinary instrument, perfect for gigging pros and Frampton enthusiasts alike.
The Phenix features an all-mahogany body, giving it a rich voice with deep lows, punchy mids, and plenty of juicy sustain. Its body boasts a weight-relieved design, making it light, comfortable, and great for all-night gigs and extended performances. Players will love the Phenix's solid mahogany neck which feels nice and smooth in hand, and its 22 Plek'd fret ebony fingerboard that plays with a lightning-quick response. Fully trimmed out with VOS specs, this Les Paul looks and feels just like an authentic vintage axe.
Powering the Peter Frampton Phenix is a trio of CustomBuckers that churn out a stellar array of classic, growlin' rock tones. Like the originals, these pickups are unpotted for more bite and output, and they've been heavily wound to deliver a killer warm tone. Flip on the neck pickup, and you'll channel a rich, creamy sound, perfect for rhythm playing and laid-back leads. Kick on the bridge, and this Les Paul will snarl and howl like you won't believe. Select the middle pickup, and you'll get the best of both worlds. No matter what 'bucker tone you're looking for, the Peter Frampton Phenix is more than capable of delivering the goods.
Complete with a Tune-o-Matic bridge, Grover Kidney button tuners, strap lock buttons, and a hardshell case, the Gibson Custom Shop Peter Frampton "Phenix" is a top-of-the-line guitar that'll impress even the most discerning of single-cut aficionados.
