We're going for silver today with this Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom in a victorious Silverburst finish. This model, a real showcase of the Custom Shop's design and construction know-how, comes together for a classy take on one of Gibson's most iconic guitars. A sleek finish, quality materials, expressive electronics, and that indispensable quality the Custom Shop provides, this Les Paul Custom is a winning combination of everything great about the Gibson Custom Shop.

This Gibson Custom Shop model assembles with so many fine Custom Shop features for something truly special. Starting this all out, a nine-hole, weight-relieved mahogany body acts as the sonic base from which the rest of the musical experience launches. Gibson's classic single-cutaway profile is an authentic call for guitar fans everywhere to take notice. A carved two-piece maple top joins in with the mahogany to introduce some tonal cut alongside the bassy mahogany. The mahogany singlecut is wrapped in a distinct Silverburst finish that is both dark and radiant.

The experience carries on from here with a mahogany neck. Matching with an ebony fingerboard, this Gibson Custom Shop creation is effortlessly played for dynamic musicality at higher and lower registers. Fast and lively, this Les Paul's twelve-inch fingerboard radius makes its playability unparalleled. Twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets and Mother of Pearl block inlays line the ebony board for a playable and aesthetic triumph.

We wouldn't be anywhere with this Les Paul Custom without its electronics, however. Onboard, This Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom loads in two Gibson humbucking pickups, a 498T and a 490R. Bringing the kind of classic humbucking heat Gibson is known for, this pickup configuration is an outstanding element of this Gibson Custom model. Carrying on, a number of fine hardware specifications appear across this model to elevate the experience even further. A Corian nut and Grover Kidney tuning machines align at the headstock for easy stringing while a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece land at the scale's opposite end for a sturdy transfer of motion from string to body. This Gibson Custom creation travels with an included hardshell case.

You might get silver for second place, but this Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom is truly anything but.
