With no toggle switch and only one volume and one tone control, this model has a stripped-down, aggressive look that sets it apart immediately from a standard Black Beauty. You simply do not see these very often. It combines the upscale feel and classic elegance of a Les Paul Custom with a much more focused, uncommon spec that makes it especially appealing to collectors and players who want something different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"799\" data-end=\"808\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"1026\"\u003eThis guitar is in very good condition and I would rate it a solid 8.5\/10.

The neck is straight, the frets are in excellent condition, 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=\"1279\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003eThe original hard-shell case and certificate of authenticity are both included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1374\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1376\" data-end=\"1980\"\u003eSerial Number: CS201539\u003cbr data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1402\"\u003eWeight: 9 lbs 2 oz\u003cbr data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eNut Width: 1.67\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003eNeck Depth: .82\" at the 1st fret, .96\" at the 12th fret\u003cbr data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded C\u003cbr data-start=\"1523\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003eBody: Solid 1-Piece Mahogany, No Weight Relief\u003cbr data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eTop: 2-Piece Maple\u003cbr data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1596\"\u003eFinish: Ebony Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1641\"\u003eNeck: 1-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr data-start=\"1684\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003eFingerboard: Solid Ebony\u003cbr data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eInlays: Mother of Pearl Blocks\u003cbr data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1747\"\u003eRadius: 12\"\u003cbr data-start=\"1758\" data-end=\"1761\"\u003eFrets: 22 Medium Jumbo\u003cbr data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"1786\"\u003ePickup: Gibson 498T Humbucker\u003cbr data-start=\"1815\" data-end=\"1818\"\u003eControls: 1 Volume, 1 Tone\u003cbr data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1847\"\u003eBridge: Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr data-start=\"1867\" data-end=\"1870\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eTailpiece: Stopbar\u003cbr data-start=\"1888\" data-end=\"1891\"\u003eTuners: Grover Kidney\u003cbr data-start=\"1912\" data-end=\"1915\"\u003eHardware: Gold\u003cbr data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1932\"\u003eCase: Original Hard-Shell Case\u003cbr data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"1965\"\u003eCOA: Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1982\" data-end=\"2004\"\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2006\" data-end=\"2368\"\u003eThe biggest draw here is obviously the single-pickup layout. With no neck pickup, no toggle switch, and only a master volume and tone, this guitar has a very clean and purposeful design that gives it a unique look and feel compared to a standard Les Paul Custom. It is a rare variation that you almost never come across, especially as a Custom Shop Black Beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2609\"\u003eThe lone Gibson 498T in the bridge position gives the guitar a strong, direct voice with plenty of output and bite, while the solid mahogany body, maple top, and ebony fingerboard keep it firmly rooted in classic Les Paul Custom territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2611\" data-end=\"2622\"\u003eTone \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2911\"\u003eThis guitar has a focused, powerful, and immediate response. The single 498T gives it plenty of punch, cut, and midrange authority, making it a great fit for rock, hard rock, and heavier styles, while still retaining the sustain and fullness you would expect from a good Les Paul Custom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2913\" data-end=\"3154\"\u003eThe Rounded C neck feels comfortable and substantial without being too large, and the ebony board adds a slightly quicker, more articulate attack under the fingers. At 9 lbs 2 oz, it has a solid, balanced feel that suits the model very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3156\" data-end=\"3177\"\u003eTransparency \u0026amp; Photos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3179\" data-end=\"3546\"\u003eAs with all Guitar Chimp listings, detailed photos are provided of the actual instrument.
