Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom w/Ebony Fingerboard Gloss Ebony

The Gibson Les Paul Custom in Ebony Gloss represents the pinnacle of Gibson craftsmanship, delivering premium tone, feel, and visual elegance straight from the Custom Shop. Known as the flagship Les Paul model, it blends classic design with refined modern performance, making it a standout choice for professional players across all genres.

Built with a solid mahogany body and maple top, the Les Paul Custom delivers powerful sustain, rich lows, and articulate highs. The ebony fretboard adds snap and clarity to every note, while the long neck tenon construction enhances resonance and sustain. The Modern Medium C neck profile offers a comfortable, fast-playing feel suited to both rhythm and lead work.

Loaded with a 490R neck pickup and 498T bridge pickup, this guitar produces a versatile tonal range—from warm, smooth cleans to aggressive, high-output tones. Hand-wired electronics with premium CTS pots ensure precise control and consistent performance.

Finished in a timeless Ebony gloss with gold hardware and multi-ply binding, the Les Paul Custom’s iconic “tuxedo” aesthetic makes it as visually striking as it is sonically powerful.
