Construction
Truly accurate to vintage design, the Custom consists of a classic mahogany body and neck combination with five-ply body binding and a sleek gloss finish. Any guitarist’s dream.
The neck is shaped into a Gibson original Slim Taper – styled after the late ‘50s performance update and known for its flatter pattern. Paired with the 12” fingerboard radius and medium jumbo frets, the Custom feels like a delight to play. Hardware specs include all-gold LockTone ABR bridge and Grover 18:1 ratio tuners.
Sound
The Les Paul Custom houses ProBucker-2 and 3 humbuckers inspired by legendary PAF pickups. These are characterised by the alnico low output and sweet sustain. The bridge ProBucker-3 is slightly overwound for extra attack and sounds great through high gain, while its neck counterpart takes a softer touch.
