This one I bought in September 2008. I sold my old Les Paul Studio and needed a replacement and although I am really happy with my other Gibson Les Paul Standard I wanted a different one and why not get the best Gibson has to offer in Les Pauls.
The Les Paul Custom of the 1950s featured multi-layered binding and gold-plated hardware and was the top model in the original Les Paul line.
The Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar features a one-piece mahogany neck, carved maple top and warm-toned mahogany body. An ebony fingerboard with classic inlay pattern gives it a bright attack. 490R and 498T Gibson humbuckers deliver warm rhythm and hot, solid lead sounds. Gibson also includes a tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar tailpiece, and bound body, neck, and head with your Les Paul guitar.
