This is one of the most iconic Les Paul Custom specifications and a guitar that needs very little introduction. Alpine White, gold hardware and an ebony fingerboard is a timeless combination, giving the guitar a clean, luxurious appearance that will gradually develop even more character as the nitrocellulose finish ages. The block inlays, multi-ply Custom appointments and split-diamond headstock complete one of Gibson’s most recognisable designs.
The mahogany body and neck, carved maple top and ebony fingerboard provide the familiar Les Paul Custom balance of warmth, sustain and definition. The 490R delivers a smooth and rounded neck voice, while the hotter 498T bridge pickup adds strong output, upper-mid bite and plenty of authority for driven rhythm and lead work. It is equally at home covering rich clean tones, classic rock and heavier modern sounds. A definitive Gibson Custom model with serious stage presence and enduring collector appeal.
