About this listing
This 2014 Gibson Les Paul Custom Lite in Tobacco Burst gives you the look, feel, and unmistakable attitude of a Les Paul Custom in a noticeably lighter, more comfortable package. Weighing only 7 lbs. 6 oz., this is an excellent choice for anyone who loves the thick, powerful sound of a Les Paul but doesn't want to spend an entire gig with a 9- or 10-pound guitar hanging from their shoulder. The Tobacco Burst finish looks fantastic against the Custom appointments, giving the guitar a classy vintage-inspired appearance that still has plenty of stage presence.
The original Gibson pickups deliver everything you would expect from a great Les Paul: a thick and punchy bridge position for rock and higher-gain playing, along with a warm, smooth neck pickup that sounds fantastic for leads, blues, and cleaner passages. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard give it that familiar Gibson feel, while the .85" first-fret and .93" 12th-fret measurements make for a substantial but very playable neck profile. It plays great up and down the neck, the neck is straight, and the truss rod turns properly in both directions.
One of the biggest reasons to grab this particular Les Paul is the combination of genuine USA Gibson construction, Custom styling, and the lightweight Lite design. At only 7 lbs. 6 oz., it's considerably easier on the shoulder than many traditional Les Pauls while still delivering the tone and feel players buy a Gibson for in the first place. Whether you're looking for a comfortable Les Paul to gig with, a distinctive Tobacco Burst Gibson for your collection, or simply a great-playing instrument that you'll actually want to pick up every day, this one checks a lot of boxes.
The guitar retains its original Gibson pickups, tuners, and hardware. Whoever ends up with this Les Paul is going to have a hard time putting it down once they start playing it. These Custom Lite models offer something genuinely different from a standard Les Paul, and this is a great opportunity to snag one before somebody else does.
