Like the Les Paul Standard, the Les Paul Custom was replaced with the SG body style at the end of 1960. The original Les Paul and Les Paul Custom were not brought back until 1968. Upon its reintroduction, the Les Paul Custom differed from those of the '50s in number of ways: the headstock was a slightly steeper angle, the control cavity in the body was cut in a different manner, and the neck tennon was longer. Starting in 1969, the Custom also adopted a multi-ply body construction with a Maple top like the Les Standard, where the original Les Paul Custom used an all Mahogany body. Years of Production: 1953 - 1960 (switched to SG body), 1968 - present Body Style: Single cutaway solidbody Wood Composition: Mahogany body, Maple top, Mahogany neck, Ebony fingerboard Design Elements: Two humbucker pickups, block inlays, Kluson deluxe tuners, four control knobs, three-way pickup selector, black pickguard, bound fingerboard, stopbar tailpiece and Tune-o-matic bridge, gold-plated hardware, headstock inlay Finish Specifications: Ebony is the most common finish for the Les Paul Custom. Notable Les Paul Players: Jimmy Page, Slash, Neil Young, Alex Lifeson, Pete TownshendThe Gibson Les Paul Custom is the stylish older brother of one of the most popular guitars ever produced, dressed to the nines and ready to hit the town. Sporting the same set mahogany neck/solid body and carved maple top as its Standard counterpart, the Custom brings in aesthetic touches like double binding on the neck and body and eye-catching gold or chrome hardware for a truly regal instrument. Coming in finishes from the traditional Wine Red or Alpine White to the metal crowd favorite Silverburst, the Les Paul Custom is a holy grail for guitarists of any genre. This guitar is completely original. Normal wear only for about 4 years and then put away until now.Plays GREAT!
