The Les Paul Custom Lite is a thin body version of the Les Paul Custom, originally released in the late '80s. The 2014 - 2016 models feature a standard 4-knob control layout, rosewood fretboard, 490R/498T humbuckers, Custom Diamond headstock inlay, and a '50s neck profile. The 2013 model features Gibson's 3-knob/coil switch control layout, and is frequently confused with the Les Paul Classic Custom Lite which was produced around the same time.
