Silverburst Les Paul Custom

The Silverburst finish is one of the most distinctive looks available on a Les Paul Custom.

Its metallic silver center transitions into a dark outer burst, creating a striking contrast against the guitar's multi-ply binding, black appointments, and chrome hardware.

Combined with the traditional Les Paul Custom headstock inlay and mother-of-pearl fingerboard blocks, the finish gives this guitar an unmistakable appearance that stands apart from more common Ebony and Alpine White examples.

Gibson 490R & 498T Humbuckers

The Gibson 490R neck and 498T bridge humbuckers provide a versatile combination of warmth, clarity, and power.

The 490R delivers smooth, full-bodied neck tones that work beautifully for clean passages, blues, and singing lead work.

The hotter 498T bridge pickup offers strong midrange presence, tight attack, and plenty of output for classic rock, hard rock, and heavier styles.

Together, they give this Les Paul Custom a wide tonal range while retaining the familiar response of a traditional dual-humbucker Gibson.

Neck & Feel

The rounded mahogany neck measures .83" at the 1st fret and .98" at the 12th, with a measured 1.68" nut width.

The profile has a comfortable feel in the lower positions and gradually fills out as you move up the neck.

The smooth Richlite fingerboard and substantial 9 lb 12 oz weight complete the classic Les Paul Custom playing experience, with plenty of sustain and a solid, resonant feel.

Original Gibson Custom Shop Case & COA

The guitar includes its original Gibson Custom Shop hard-shell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
