Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom Ebony Maple Fingerboard
Item: GBHB438C
The Gibson Custom Shop has produced a very small limited edition run of these beautiful Les Paul Customs in Ebony with maple fingerboards. This is a great looking guitar with a very unique vibe. It plays as good as it looks. Also a very interesting serial# 200001 most likely the first guitar from the Custom Shop for 2012.
The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany then topped by a 22-fret maple fingerboard outfitted with figured acrylic block inlays, and given Gibson’s traditional rounded profile. The pickups are Gibson’s 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R’s Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs.
