Gibson Les Pauls Custom, CS
Beautiful Custom Colour LP, with a stunning Flamed Maple top in Wine Red. Today’s Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a handcarved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany, and fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays. The pickups are Gibson’s 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R’s Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, Grover tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware and a 1 11/16” nut width. The black scratchplate has been replaced.
Includes hardshell case, and of course a nice setup from our workshop. Equipped with StringJoy 10-48 balanced strings.
