Description
The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s is a standout return to form, bringing vintage-correct specs and striking aesthetics to the modern Gibson USA lineup. Dressed in a rich Wine Red finish, this version combines old-school swagger with bold visual appeal; it's a guitar built for players who want both tone and presence, onstage and off.
Originally born from Les Paul's own vision in the early 1950s, the Custom model was meant to be an elevated take on the standard Les Paul-sleek, refined, and stage-ready. By the 1970s, the model had undergone a major evolution: maple tops replaced the earlier all-mahogany build, and maple necks with volutes became the new standard. These changes gave the Custom a brighter, more focused sound that quickly found favor with rock and fusion players alike. Now, with the Les Paul Custom 70s, Gibson USA captures all the defining features of this iconic decade with authenticity and attention to detail.
This model features a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top, wrapped in multi-ply binding and finished in gloss nitrocellulose. The 70s-profile maple neck with volute offers a familiar, solid feel in hand, and the bound ebony fingerboard delivers a fast, smooth playing surface that's both durable and visually striking. Mother-of-pearl block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets round out the fingerboard with vintage elegance and effortless playability.
Tone comes courtesy of calibrated T-Type humbuckers-bright, balanced, and punchy, just like the originals. With hand-wired Orange Drop capacitors and traditional 2-volume/2-tone controls, this Les Paul Custom offers everything from articulate cleans to thick, harmonically rich overdrive. Whether you're recording, gigging, or just jamming at home, this guitar brings that unmistakable Les Paul tone with a 70s twist.
Gold hardware ties it all together: Grover Rotomatic tuners, an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, and Posi-Lok strap locks ensure tuning stability and reliable performance. A five-ply pickguard and Witch Hat knobs complete the look with era-correct style.
The Wine Red finish sets this model apart with deep, luxurious color and a subtle hint of attitude. It's refined, eye-catching, and loaded with personality-just like the sound it delivers.
At Cream City Music, we're thrilled to offer this stunning Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s in Wine Red. It's an inspiring blend of vintage mojo and modern performance; a guitar that looks as good as it plays, and sounds even better.
