An iconic guitar with an iconic story, the Gibson Les Paul is the legacy of legendary guitarist and guitar innovator Les Paul. What started as a personal mission back in the late '40s has developed in to arguably the most revered electric guitar model of all time.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom is the ultimate way to experience what makes the Les Paul so special, and here we have a new chapter for this legendary model. With a modern one-piece, weight-relieved Mahogany body topped with a 2-piece Maple top, this Custom is finished in stunning Ebony with Gold hardware. I think it's fair to say it's a real eye catcher.

What makes this particular Les Paul Custom stand out, however, is its Long Scale. This version has a 25.5" scale rather than the traditional 24.75". This much-requested variation will feel right at home for players who are used to a bit of a higher string tension for a snappier picking response and a tighter feel. If you are more inclined to drop-tunings as well this will handle it perfectly.

An Ebony fingerboard with Pearl block inlays, 22 Medium Jumbo frets, Modern C neck profile, Long neck tenon joint, and 12" radius, all on top of a Mahogany neck make for a solid, reliable and easy playing experience.

Loaded with a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge. These humbuckers deliver that tone that only a Les Paul can produce, inspired by the original PAF pickups that have become so iconic. It works for warm jazz all the way up to high-gain distortion.

A real powerhouse, this Gibson Les Paul Custom Long Scale comes complete with Gibson hardcase for great protection at home and on the road.
