Description
What makes this guitar special: As far as Les Pauls go, there’s a reason Customs are so beloved, and this guitar is no different. Outside of having a killer black and white tuxedo aesthetic, this LP comes loaded with a PAF-style 490R humbucker in the bridge and slightly hotter 498T in the bridge that not only gives players excellent tone, but a bit of bite and separation. Its appointments – like multi-ply binding and gold hardware -- are synonymous with Gibson Custom class and aptly pay tribute to this historic model. If that wasn’t enough, this guitar is super clean and will arrive to its new owner will a full setup, thanks to our top-notch in-house luthiers.
