All user reviews for the Gibson Les Paul Custom

So my turn: it is an old bed damme of 1970 color of wine and gold acastillage
guitar mahogany and ebony fingerboard US / mother of pearl boxes 22.
Flat handle section and 1 / 2 Round crasis enough.
almost flat table without Chanfrain
Gibson pickups, 2 doubles ... uh ... I do not know what the. no vibrato.

UTILIZATION

The flat handle section and 1 / 2 round enough crasis provides a real joy when you walk around.
The ebony fingerboard / mother is a delice% 20for% 20the% 20doigts. ( http://delice%20pour%20les%20doigts. )
Although it is not the tuning for years, a frieze does not even rule action with a low trs.
Although trs old, the varnish does not seem to sch during sessions prolong aparaissent fingerprints in the varnish, but a funny thing ... do not cole. ??
access to the treble is not the best.
lack of Chanfrain gache on the table a little comfort and grip as it is Paisse: 5cm against just 3.5 for my Parker
sitting and playing fairly galley, it stings the nose easily and quickly you end up slumped over, standing more problems ... except .... uh scoliosis that goes with it! lol but with a good wide strap well ... more problems! lol
it is heavy, but certainly it is a treat and sounds! even a vacuum is fun to play with.

SOUNDS

This old damme has received some modified electronic. 2 more international help split the pickups or the cross. 7 positions in any
which give clear sounds beautiful. trs warmly, but crystal-clear round or trs ... in all cases well-defined trs.
sounds too saturated trs are good, not drafts. but trs typ gibson ... I can not define a sound but its a gibson .... it! for more modern sounds, and the handle faster using my Parker. .. but I come back to fawn all over my Les Paul because it sounds better anyway, and with my preamp (prophesy) it addresses many styles.

OVERALL OPINION

guitar United States in 1970 bought a grip of cherry (cherries heu. .. 3) there are 5 or 6 years
trs guitar type sounds ... even a vacuum. It's heavy but it is happiness.
I bought other gitar (jackson, Godin, Ibanez RG and sword, parker, yamaha, peavey I've sold ... except the gibson ..
Certainly, it's upscale but g tried other premium brands and did not sound as good and bad feeling so should really be no magic in this skyscraper.
But the magic that pays money and the guitar is not the door of every budget.
(Except the super RARE good deal like mine found in an attic.)

Gibson Les Paul Custom 1980, black
Made in America
totally original ... a real treat ... when we know it belonged to a collector who left her in a showcase for more than 10 years before I 'buy it ...
Some of them deserve a slap!

Tune O 'matic, all original j'vous said ...

UTILIZATION

Round and round and deep enough along fine down ...
grip is necessary ...
Access to acute is my faith ... bin as a Les Paul .. ie that above the 19 th box is a little twisted wrist and it goes ...
on the other hand, it weighs a ton!
And yes old manufacturing requires ... table full full full!
And it shows on his ... what sustain!

I use it mostly for solo recordings in the studio and some concerts, and it is accurate, it screams at the same time is very fine and full of emotion ...

SOUNDS

To me that makes the instrument rock is required with a good Start US.
The sounds are great complementary.
Plugged into my Line 6 Vetta II, I get absolutely any sound I want ...
clear sounds real hot and bluesy crunch to many rocks and saturations demonic ...
It is packed with emotions!
Sometimes he can play alone ...

The two microphones are really mind-blowing! An incredible difference ... as one can go from a super aggressive bridge to his velvety sleeve.

OVERALL OPINION

I have 4 years now, and it's my baby!
Only problem ', the weight, I could correct with a very wide belt and a hair elastic.

I had some Les Paul before, and I always, I have tried other, and really it is fantastic!

For me, the ultimate weapon with a good Start US

For me, a guitarist must have two guitars: A Start and a Les Paul

Has any words, MADE IN United States, mine is OCCAZ and has a pair of DiMarzio,
CEOS myth Gibson.

laying Straplock above is mandatory.

UTILIZATION

A little that the handle is enjoyable in 3 years I have zik scratch test, and I have never seen a comfortable and enjoyable ausi round to play.
do not fall into the trap and other prjujs: Lespaul = heavy guitar that hurts the back.
everything depends on the year, the heaviest is 80 'and APRS 2000.
mine is 1990, LP is the lightest I've tried.
the studio is heavy but trs amount range of quality wood etc. .. it manages.
the only problem is ptit Access in acute, but to work, everybody gets there, there is no reason

SOUNDS

I play metal, I'll put emg but for now the DiMarzio are nice, if not thanks to its large thickness of wood and wood lime mahogany
The guitar has a big sound quite heavy original.

[edit May 2008]

t have the DiMarzio chang by emg 81 and 85, before the distortion n'tais not great, it's much better, better DEFINITIONS sound a lot better, prcis, except for I liked the clean and the DiMarzio, but overall I am trs pleased, Submitted guitar suits me more.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not understand why the rating of this guitar is so average, it is one of the best guitars in the world, then messieus, if the price you still hurts to c * l, is not worth it or dfouler to criticize is the top of the top Lespaul.
this guitar is not necessarily heavy, simply choose the year and to learn at all.
in terms of versatility there is no best, they do not match, change the pickups, there is always an answer for everything with gibson is simply this intrument jou can be in any style, jazz blues, black metal. but in rock it really excels.
I had one before that the sg standard, bin the LP is much better, although the rest of the gibson has found some similutes, except that the LP is a little better in all areas: comfort, ...

I had the 1700th on ebay all inclusive, I've bin offered a great gift that I am not ready to get spares.

[edit May 2008] since I've changed the plastic nut of bone, good rvison and the change in micro at all about the 2000th was the guitar, but I stay away the price has more than nine 3000e.certes scratch is expensive but this is the rolls of the LP, finishing it all, is paid a forcment, APRS everyone is free to choose between a new and std OCCAZ of custom, I found that the more beautiful. Finally I would say the custom is a great scratching was preserved when you have one does not give up, rev it a good investment.

nicolasd to view, even if it denies is that Bond'm falling on a defective model, one of the switch box and do not forget the mag or the purchaser would face is simply a pure ecroquerie the seller, then my guitar was 18 years, and the mechanisms are in perfect state, the guitar does not move, there is no paint between the frets, only the high quality ebony trs trs comprss black finishes I want to admit there are some default minimal and varnish trs fragile (but Gibson), but of a have blisters on the neck, a coating that melts so important to DCON, frankly of the guitar has spend years out of something.

Gibson Les Paul Custom in 2006 made the United States.
All information can be found at the site of Gibson and the other opinion.

UTILIZATION

By the time I bought this guitar cost 4500 euros. I decided to buy it on a website for U.S. $ 2500 or Euro 2000 at the time.
Sure, it's not serious to buy a guitar without trying it before but for 2500 euros less, there was something to try.
I received the certificate with Custom Shop, who confirmed that the guitar was set and optimized before being sent to the store.
Here is a list of different problems:
- Handle very dug (set in DNG)
- Approximate Intonation (set in the same luthier)
- Mechanical Loose.
- Badly cut nut (with the little "clicks" in the tuning of the strings of Sol and Si)
- Problems of mass and therefore welding resulting in a crackling sound.

The finish is very bad for the price. There are still traces of red paint under the black paint makes small bumps to the head (which is not very nice in-game). A small piece was removed under the biding at 1 / 4 of the handle. I think that over time, it is all part of the paint on the handle which can be removed.

SOUNDS

In terms of sound, the Custom is very interesting for the professional musician. With the master volume and tone possibilities are numerous and more subtle than it seems.
I use on stage a Musicman Luke for reasons of convenience (and mechanical self-locking tremolo, humbucker for the bridge pickup and simpler for the neck pickup), but at the sound, the Custom drives, it sounds "organic" is a real guitar, seriously. The Luke looks like a toy next to it.
You can spend much of the true jazz to round felted metal purist "tight" with no problems. The ebony fingerboard adds a nice compression while being in a rock edge.

OVERALL OPINION

The Custom of the 2000s (Gibson and in general) are not worth their price. It is unfortunate that Gibson takes over as seriously its customers than before.
The guitar I received was not worth 1000 euros, 3500 euros to pay more just for a brand is too much.
If I had to make another purchase of this type, I would look more towards the PRS or Musicman instruments that produce quality and sounding better and better.

I went out today's Guitar cif Lausanne. Basically, the silent prvu I try more guitars, but the others will come next time. I wanted to take the instrument for you Submitted APRS have really been around.

Objective approach:

Les Paul guitar shape
Mahogany body
Table two pices of Saddle sculptbr /> Channel 60's style
Wood key: bne
Type of frets: unidentified
Nitrocellulose varnish multilayer
Slecteur 3 positions
2 potentiomtres rotary volume numrots
2 potentiomtres rotary Tone numrots
2 humbuckers which I do not know the type

Subjective approach:
Guitar flash away from dj trs. She is the one that caught my eye the most. The varnish is beautiful even if I notice a default on the edge of opening. On her sister (short on custom which was his right) is a default in the binding tape to me the eye (the raw wood is visible on some millimtres places. Forget that guitar is worth 6,000 Swiss potatoes. The price of a Tokyo travel round trip with a night in a hot club and champagne wealth ... a little light when se.

Note also that the handle "deep joint, long tenon," naturally absent on this guitar is an option rarely found on custom sold in Europe and which currency the price of gold. It is the only condition that would have really THE sound of Gibson's era.

7: The guitar is dmarque the rest of the pack by a varnish especially high quality and the use of a wooden button trs enjoyable. I regret the default finish, a wood body and the lack of standard split for a guitar of this price.

UTILIZATION

The density of mahogany is select as the guitar is neither too heavy nor too lgre. I agree however, the guitar promne in the top rankings in weight. But as I am happy owner of a Dean Flying V resorted to a fairly large weight, I am not only a. drang

The grip of the handle is enjoyable and the work of frets is excellent. No-matter how little frieze agree that we want to tackle. Be careful, this is not the stick "fretless wonder" whose reputable made the legends of Gibson. I note that the varnish on the back of the handle is enjoyable and glides well. I hlas not had the opportunity to sweat enough to realize the potential "live" of the instrument.

The lack of split is inexcusable because I wish to see what this pice of orfvre can spit in single coil sound. Too bad.

The other points are typical for a Les Paul. No chamfer, Access in acute questionable.

7: I can not make more for this guitar. It lacks some things to scrape Premire places.

SOUNDS

We come in really INTERESTED. A blank, I note a lightweight hollow in frquences low. I barely hear the sound effect of sixime rope. This should be a factor voluntary. The sound has a lot of roundness and sweetness. For cons, the sound does not have power, which, I must admit, surprised me. The definition for each note is excellent and it will play particulirement just to get the true potential of this Guitres. I therefore deprecated beginners. The sustain is good trs.

Once plugged into an amp in clean, the guitar is Drout. The sound is warm with the body. It is a rgal. In this register, this instrument excels and offers sound it is the only offer. We can even say more transparent. The clean is just bright and Irad littralement the pice. Absolute excellence.

In the bluesy crunch, the saccharine pop and vintage records, the guitar shows that it is "the benchmark for all". We realize it is the direct progeny of a family of instruments that we have all heard on an album or another. In this exercise, the guitar MRIT also noted for excellence.

By pushing the saturation, I do more. The sound is not nominally bad, but it lacks something that I am unable to dcrire into words. I would say that I get is too tight and not really adapted to this exercise.

8: A good shovel sound of references in a guitar, provided they are not asking the impossible for it or change its pickups.

OVERALL OPINION

DEFINITIONS In this Les Paul is a good instrument trs. These sounds are first provided plans to keep its spectrum of use. But why an original does not innovate by trying the "really modern ... grrr grrr that kills ..." with this beautiful. The violin is the potential in any case.

3: An instrument expensive, trs expensive for what it can offer. The Les Paul Custom draisonnable suffers from its price making it an expensive whim, almost unnecessary as the number of good guitars competing is important. But the rewards by Owner 'sounds and signature characters affirm IMMEDIATE recognizable.
In the opinion of Higher Gain: It would be nice to get off of stopping those who leave "real" reviews for this shovel. The price makes us no worse in the ass it frustrates us all is not There's that read. And no need to send mp r-pitiful, thanks!

Edit: note that Higher Gain sold that guitar. Suggesting he had a commercial intrt note that the lev is as possible. It includes any time. ^ ^

See more advice for the description I would not do better.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice string action set very low, not too thick round for me is fine.
Ergonomics is not bad, it is far from the comfort of a stratum ', no indentations on the back, the weight is slightly higher but much less than my les paul deluxe.
No comments on access to acute, it is a les paul not a SG that is all.

SOUNDS

It is said that the strata 'are the most versatile guitars but the Les Paul Custom is great on this too. In neck pickup was a fabulous jazz sound, we go to the Gary Moore with the distortion and sound microphone is extra sharp. I think the ebony fingerboard plays a lot on the sound, it gives a little cutting edge and I love acid.

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for a month but I love this guitar and do probably never sell it. The look initially prompted me to buy it, the sound convinced me of the rest. I expect to see the polish as the other comments from owners of the scratch mefont a little afraid, we'll see but for now it is only happiness.
I had occasion, in nine and left as I do is really expensive but there is little OCCAZ 'is not much choice.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty is a guitar that was originally designed in the fifties as a classier, more upmarket version of the goldtop model that was called the "Standard." The guitar has gone through a few feature changes since then, but the core specs are still quite similar to a late fifties example. It features all mahogany construction (no maple cap as per the Standards) an ebony fretboard (as opposed to rosewood on the Standard) block inlays, 22 frets, Grover tuners, tune-o-matic bridge with stoptail, and a pair of Gibson humbuckers (The modern Custom is loaded with the 490R in the neck position and a 498T in the bridge.) It's topped off with a really classy black finish with gold hardware and a multiply binding all around the guitar that really helps to bring out the elegant vibe of this guitar. The Gibson Les Paul Custom is (fittingly) now constructed in Gibson's Custom Shop plant in the USA.

UTILIZATION

The Les Paul Custom is not a guitar that I'd consider to be ergonomic particularly. The modern Custom is not chambered like many modern Les Pauls and thus it is quite a heavy guitar in general. It's not an instrument I would want to play for multiple 2-3 hour sets to be sure! It certainly is a guitar that you feel when you're playing, so if you're one of those cats who digs having a "real heavy Les Paul," the Custom is definitely worth looking into. The Les Paul shape/design is not one that lends itself naturally to things like shred or fast playing (you do have to work a bit harder on one of these) but it is certainly an easy guitar to play if you're a fan of the feel of Gibsons. The shorter scale is one that I've come to love for my own playing style, so it's all a matter of preference. The upper fret access is a bit of a chore on this guitar considering that it's not particularly light or sculpted near the neck heel, but again, when the guitar was designed, things like uber-fast playing weren't in vogue at the time and hey, it worked well enough for our pal Les Paul himself!

SOUNDS

I've tried a few Customs through a whole plethora of different amps with great results. Because of the heavier weight and all mahogany construction of these guitars, it's got a great thick tone that is definitely different and unique to the guitar. Compared to the Les Paul Standard, it's definitely darker and has a much more pronounced low end. The lack of a maple top takes away a lot of high end sparkle, and the ebony fretboard is definitely a bit harder and sharper sounding than the rosewood used on many other LPs. I love both guitars for their tone, but they;re fairly different sounding guitars that work well for different application. I would say the Custom is a better guitar for precision work (IE: jazz, modern metal, shred) where notes really have to stand out with a clear voice. The more forgiving nature of the Standard is more suited to blues and classic rock styles.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Gibson Les Paul Custom is a guitar for the ages and is well worth considering if you want a great Les Paul to compliment a Standard or sound unique and cool on its own. At about $3,800 new they are not cheap, but you can find them quite easily used for about $2,400 without issue. They're great guitars that have a voice that is separate from the Standard but is definitely the voice of a real Gibson Les Paul guitar!

The Les Paul Custom has gone through a tone of changes throughout the years. The one I'll be focusing on in this review will be the one currently available on the market today. It features all of the same specs that people know and love from a Les Paul -- a mahogany body with a maple top, a set mahogany neck, 22 frets, binding, two humbuckers, a hard tail TOM bridge, two volume knobs, two tone knobs, two humbuckers and a three way switch. However, the absolute biggest change would happen to be the ebony fretboard. That's mainly the feature that makes this guitar a "Custom"

UTILIZATION

The Gibson Les Paul Custom is an amazing guitar that sounds absolutely huge. The neck profiles vary depending on what year you buy, and the one I played had a fairly thick neck. Some people will dislike this, but it was never a huge deal to me. I seem to be able to adapt from super thin necks like the Wizards to extremely thick Nocaster necks without much of a problem. The flatter radius on this was wonderful, and it allowed me to lower the action lower than a normal Strat would allow. The tuners on this model aren't as bad as the older Standard model, but I'd still replace them with locking tuners.

SOUNDS

The Custom really excels in sound. Normally, Gibson Les Pauls are very thick sounding. This works great for most styles of music, but sometimes it lacks a tad bit of clarity for genres such as metal, especially once you start tuning lower. The ebony fretboard on this guitar helps add some sizzle and bite that allows the guitar to cut through the mix without sounding thin. I'm not a fan of the pickups, so I always replace both those and the pots. This really opens up the guitar and makes it not only more aggressive but more versatile as well.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're searching for a Les Paul Custom, be sure to try a bunch out in your local music store. The quality control on Gibson guitars can be really iffy. The biggest things to look for would be tuning stability and fretwork. Pay particular attention to fretwork as that's what can really make or break a guitar. If you're looking for a metal guitar, it's really hard to beat this thing. Just be careful of the weight.

This Les Paul was made in October of 2001 in the U.S.A. It has a mahogany body and neck, with a maple cap on the body and an ebony fretboard with 22 medium frets. It has the usual dual humbucker configuration with a volume and a tone control for each pickup with the standard 3-way toggle switch. The stock pickups were the Gibson 490 and 498, but those have been replaced with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and a ’59 in the neck. It has a tune-a-matic bridge and Gibson’s ’59 shape neck, which is somewhere between their 50’s and 60’s neck in its thickness.

UTILIZATION

Like with most Les Pauls, access to the higher frets can be difficult to reach if you are not accustomed to playing a Les Paul. This guitar is very comfortable to play either standing or sitting, but because of its weight (slightly over 8 pounds) after a few hours of playing standing up it can become a little heavy. However, the mass of the guitar translates directly into a thick and meaty tone.

SOUNDS

I play all styles of rock with my Gibson Les Paul Custom. My amp is a Peavey Classic 50 2x12 combo, which delivers everything from pure clean tones to overdriven sounds. My pedal board consists of an MXR Micro Amp, a Bodenhamer modded Boss SD-1, a Line 6 MM4 and an ISP Decimator. No matter what amp settings or effects I use, the Les Paul always produces pure, clear, rich tones. This guitar most definitely suits my style of music. Les Pauls = ROCK!

OVERALL OPINION

I tried several other styles of Les Pauls and other Gibson models before deciding on the Custom. I believe the ebony fretboard set it apart from the majority of the other models with rosewood fretboards. It adds a special “snap” to the guitar’s tone. The Custom’s neck also felt the best in my hands. While $2500 is a lot of money for a guitar, there is nothing else I could ask for tone or playability wise from this guitar. It is built like a rock, and in the last 10 years of my ownership I have not had any issues with the guitar’s reliability or functionality.

Made in the USA by GIbson, 2 tone controls , 2 volume controls just like a regular LP, 22 Frets, Ebony Board. 2 Humbuckers, double binding, Grover tuners...
50's Type neck, not too big, not too small, very beefy yet comfortable to play.

The guitar looks gorgeous in all black with gold hardware, a real black beauty!

UTILIZATION

In terms of design this guitar is very nice to play, it is a bit on the heavy side weighting in at 9.5+ pounds.

Very versatile guitar, especially considering I installed single coil mode via a pull pot on the tone control knobs. Also changed the wiring, upgraded electronics, and installed a set of Suhr Aldrich pickups.



SOUNDS

I use it with a Bogner Ecstasy 101B and a Diezel Einstein, it has the typical Les Paul trademark sound, long lasting sustain and a lot of power. The stock pickups were a bit lacking in my opinion, as do most Gibson pickups with the exception of a few. Replaced them and the guitar sounds much better, its a dark guitar in nature so keep that in mind if you are planning on swapping the original pup's.

Can do any music style with ease, especially Rock and Hard Rock and even metal. The Les Paul Custom is a workhorse and a terrific sounding electric guitar with the benefit that it is the nicest looking electric guitar that has ever been produced.

With the addition of the coil tap, it can do classic single coil Fender type sounds with ease for those bluesy moments

Turn down the tone control on the neck pickup and get insane "women tone" lead sounds...



OVERALL OPINION

This guitar will sure turn a few heads around in a club, its such an iconic guitar, you really can't go wrong, as they keep their value through the years.

This guitar will outlive you if you treat it right and give you a liftetime of great Rock N' Roll tones

Gibson Les Paul Custom Alpine White
Ebony etc. ... Features common to all the Les Paul

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant and not too thick or too thin, in terms of ergonomics, is a Les Paul is thick, it will depend on the user template. For me it's going very well.

SOUNDS

The sound of rock and roll, jazz & blues ... it can rock extreme, but I explore it better. We buy a Les Paul for it's a. We are not asking for a telecaster sound like an ESP Kirk Hammett for example. So, if you like the sound of the Les Paul is the foot, if you bought a Les Paul to sound like a Gretsh, it makes him less.

OVERALL OPINION

I have read some tips and stuff on the finishes of the Les Paul hah ... Descend on Earth, Gibson is a factory: they are great guitars whose sleeves are cut and hand-made, yes ok, the body-sided machine then finished by hand (well the big sander ribbon) but remains in mass production folks. What a scoop! If you want a guitar made entirely by hand in small onions and pampered, bin it places an order from the maker. Guitar zero defects in finishes? Bin it goes to PRS, everything is digital. So he must know what you will, I prefer a guitar with some defects finishes (which are never fatal, either - I have 5 Gibson) but made largely by the hand of man rather a guitar made by a robot, or the man that has taken place in the final process control.
Another thing: the famous varnish Gibson as saying this is: it is a nitrocellulose-based varnish. What's the point? it is a soft-touch paint in these early years that leaves vibrate the guitar (part of the recipe for his Gibson). It is a fragile nail, taking care that will color gradually jaunne and crack over time, having lost its elasticity. Gibson will apply a lacquer-based plastic like other manufacturers, the sound will cost. But what the hell is in no way a fault! And yes, all your Gibson will one day crack the veneer that time, she vireront jaunne with all the time, it is. But is the price to pay for what his legend.
