Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar w/Case

Modern Gibson Custom Les Paul with weight relief, Burstbucker pickups and handcrafted Nashville quality

Overview

The Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar w/Case brings Gibson Custom craftsmanship into a more contemporary Les Paul design. Built for players who want the feel, tone and prestige of a Custom Shop instrument without a strict vintage-reissue approach, this model combines a mahogany body, AA maple cap, nine-hole weight relief and a comfortable Medium C neck profile. With Burstbucker humbuckers, hand-wired controls, premium hardware and a Custom Shop hardshell case, it delivers classic Les Paul authority with modern playing comfort.

Features

The mahogany body uses nine-hole weight relief to reduce overall mass and improve comfort during long rehearsals, recording sessions and performances. A lightly figured AA maple cap adds clarity, attack and definition to the warm midrange of the mahogany body, giving the guitar the unmistakable Les Paul voice with added visual refinement.

The mahogany neck features a Medium C profile that sits between slim and substantial, making it comfortable for a wide range of players. A one-piece rosewood fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets and cellulose trapezoid inlays provide a familiar Les Paul playing surface with the refined feel expected from Gibson Custom.

A Burstbucker 2 in the neck position and a slightly hotter Burstbucker 3 in the bridge deliver vintage-inspired humbucker character with enough output and bite for modern performance. The hand-wired control layout uses independent volume and tone controls with audio-taper CTS potentiometers, while a Switchcraft 3-way toggle and Switchcraft output jack provide dependable signal routing. A nylon nut, Kluson single-line tuners, no-wire ABR-1 bridge and lightweight Stop Bar tailpiece complete a high-quality hardware package built for tuning stability, sustain and precise adjustment.
