If you want vintage tone and feel with a more modern aesthetic then this is your solution. This 2025 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom in Alpine White with nitro finish, vintage parts and specs, marries the best of old and new.

The bridge is a 1967 ABR-1 (nashville posts are included), pickups are unpotted Mojo UK PAF clones, switch nut and pickguard bracket are from the 1950's, pots are 550K Centralab clones with vintage .022 Sprague phonebook caps, knobs and pickguard are late '50s spec, and case is a Gen 1 "chainsaw" protector.

It plays and sounds very much like a vintage ~1968 (maple cap) Les Paul Custom in terms of touch sensitivity and resonance, with a full neck profile, big frets, fast nitro finish and tasteful aging.

There is a repaired neck break that looks dramatic but is very solid with no issues holding tuning. I'm including a replacement decal in the event that you wish to clean up the repair but personally, I like it.​

It's a good one with genuine personality and character.
