Finished in Honeyburst, this one has a great look, with the upscale feel and rich voice you’d expect from a Les Paul Custom. With its carved maple top, ebony fingerboard, gold hardware, and original Gibson pickups, this is a great example of a high-quality modern-era Custom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"659\" data-end=\"668\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"972\"\u003eThis guitar is in very good condition and I would rate it a solid 8.5\/10. It shows light surface scratches, a few small dings, some wear on the back, and expected tarnish to the gold hardware from normal use and age. Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003eThere are no cracks, breaks, or repairs. The neck is straight and stable, the frets are in excellent condition with very little wear, and the guitar plays cleanly up and down the neck with no buzzing or dead spots. It has also been recently professionally set up and is ready to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1258\" data-end=\"1306\"\u003eThe original Gibson hard-shell case is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003eSerial Number: 92188412\u003cbr data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eWeight: 9 lbs 14 oz\u003cbr data-start=\"1369\" data-end=\"1372\"\u003eNut Width: 1.69\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1391\"\u003eNeck Depth: .82\" at the 1st fret, .94\" at the 12th fret\u003cbr data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1449\"\u003eNeck Profile: Slim Taper\u003cbr data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1476\"\u003eBody: Mahogany with Carved Maple Top\u003cbr data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003eFinish: Honeyburst, Gloss Nitro\u003cbr data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1566\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr data-start=\"1584\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1610\"\u003eRadius: 12\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003ePickups: Original Gibson 490R (Neck), 498T (Bridge)\u003cbr data-start=\"1675\" data-end=\"1678\"\u003eHardware: Gold\u003cbr data-start=\"1692\" data-end=\"1695\"\u003eTuners: Original Grover\u003cbr data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003eCase: Original Gibson Hard-Shell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1784\"\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"2116\"\u003eOne of the big appeals of this guitar is the combination of Les Paul Custom appointments with the tone and feel associated with Gibson’s late-’90s production. The ebony fingerboard adds a quicker, more immediate attack, while the 490R and 498T pickup set delivers the thick, articulate sound players want from a powerful Les Paul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2436\"\u003eThis is also a very attractive example visually, with the Honeyburst finish giving it a slightly warmer and less common look than the standard black or wine red Customs. For players who want Custom-level feel and tone with a more figured and visually interesting top, these Custom Plus models are especially appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2438\" data-end=\"2449\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2451\" data-end=\"2734\"\u003eThis guitar has the rich sustain, strong midrange, and powerful voice you’d expect from a great Les Paul Custom. The 490R neck pickup offers warm, singing tones for leads and fuller rhythm work, while the 498T bridge pickup adds bite, output, and clarity for rock and heavier styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2736\" data-end=\"2956\"\u003eThe Slim Taper neck feels comfortable and fast, and the ebony board gives the guitar a more immediate and articulate response under the fingers. At 9 lbs 14 oz, it has a solid, substantial feel that suits the model well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2958\" data-end=\"2979\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3348\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
