Each instrument celebrates Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul™ Custom is the flagship model in the Gibson Custom Modern Collection lineup. Long a player favorite, it lives up to the high standards set when the model was first introduced in late 1953 and carries forward the “tuxedo” appointments and refinements introduced since then.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce a new version of the iconic Les Paul Custom. It retains all of the features and specifications of our regular Modern Collection Les Paul Custom, but with a 25.5” scale length instead of the standard 24.75” scale of standard Les Paul Customs, making this guitar an excellent choice for players who prefer the snappier attack of a longer scale length, as well as those who frequently use drop tunings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul Custom Long Scale features a one-piece mahogany body with nine-hole weight relief, reducing weight while retaining the resonant, responsive tone the Les Paul Custom is famous for. A two-piece plain maple top adds a touch of brightness to the mahogany’s midrange and warmth. Multi-ply binding on the top and back further reinforces the model’s flagship position within the Modern Collection lineup. The long-scale mahogany neck features a comfortable Modern Medium C profile and is attached to the body with a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and tonal transfer. The bound ebony fretboard features a 12” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and is adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. The multi-ply bound headstock is equipped with a Corian® nut, Grover® tuning machines with kidney buttons, and dressed up with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and split diamond headstock inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hardware is gold-plated, including the Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece. The Les Paul Custom Long Scale features a set of humbucker™ pickups with gold-plated covers, including a 490R in the neck position perfectly matched to a 498T in the bridge position. Hand-wired to quality CTS® potentiometers and a Switchcraft® three-way toggle switch and 1\/4” output jack, they deliver smooth jazz tones to modern metal mayhem and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul Custom Long Scale comes packaged in a Gibson Custom hardshell case for safe storage and travel, along with a Certificate of Authenticity booklet. The Les Paul Custom Long Scale is the ideal Les Paul for those who love the tone, feel, and aesthetic of the Les Paul Custom but want a longer scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere you go:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBack: 1-Piece Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Multi-ply\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish: Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape: Les Paul\u003cbr\u003eTop: Maple\u003cbr\u003eWeight Relief: 9-Hole\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius: 12\" (304.8mm)\u003cbr\u003eFret Count: 22\u003cbr\u003eFrets: Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eInlays: Mother of Pearl Block\u003cbr\u003eJoint: Long Neck Tenon\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Corian\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Modern Medium C\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 25.5\" (647.7mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: 498T\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: 490R\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2x 500K CTS Volume, 2x 500K CTS Tone, Hand-Wired Harness, Switchcraft Toggle Switch\u003cbr\u003ePickup Selector: 3-Way Toggle\u003cbr\u003eOutput Jack: 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines: Grover Kidney\u003cbr\u003eTuner Plating: Gold\u003cbr\u003eHardware Finish: Gold\u003cbr\u003ePickup Covers: Gold-Plated\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs: Black Speed Knobs\u003cbr\u003ePickguard: Black Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003eMounting Rings: Black\u003cbr\u003eStrap Buttons: Brass\u003cbr\u003eSwitch Tip: Cream\u003cbr\u003eSwitchwasher: Black\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod: Adjustable\u003cbr\u003eTruss Rod Cover: 2-Ply, Engraved \"Les Paul Custom\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtras\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrings: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003cbr\u003eCase: Hardshell Case Included\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Gibson Accessory Kit Included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52617812607288,"sku":"210000029856","price":7799.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/2712\/4002\/files\/ernuj2vrziubzglcf4p7.jpg?v=1783461860","url":"https:\/\/guitarworks.ca\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-les-paul-custom-long-scale-ebony-w-case","provider":"Guitarworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
