Serial: CS600476
Weight: 8lb 6.6oz

The Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Custom takes the iconic authority of a Les Paul Custom and reimagines it for the modern high-performance player. Built for speed, comfort, and aggressive versatility, the Axcess platform keeps the unmistakable visual identity of a Les Paul Custom while adding ergonomic contours, enhanced upper fret access, and a Floyd Rose tremolo system built for absolute tuning stability. Finished here in Gloss Ebony with gold hardware, it delivers classic Custom Shop elegance with serious stage-ready functionality.

The contoured mahogany body and carved maple top retain the sustain, harmonic richness, and low-end authority expected from a Les Paul, while the Axcess heel carve and redesigned body contours make upper fret access dramatically easier and long sessions far more comfortable. Gibson specifically highlights the redesigned contours, Apex headstock for added strength, and Floyd Rose tremolo with locking nut as core features of the model, built to handle everything from subtle vibrato to full dive-bombs without sacrificing tuning stability.

The solid ebony fingerboard adds snap, clarity, and a fast playing surface under the hands, while the 490R and 498T humbucker pairing offers everything from articulate cleans to aggressive high-gain tones. Push/pull coil-tap functionality expands the tonal range even further, making this one of the most versatile Les Paul Customs Gibson builds. At 8 lbs 7.8 oz, this example lands in an ideal range—substantial enough for strong sustain and punch, while still remaining balanced and comfortable for serious performance work. Specs including the ebony board, Slim C neck, 490R/498T pickups, and Floyd Rose configuration align with current dealer and Gibson references.
