Why The “Best of the Best” Choose The Gibson Les Paul Custom Guitar (This Proves It!)

19th June

The Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, introduced in 1954, has always represented the highest level of elegance and beauty in the guitar world.  Having been played by famous guitarists such as Jimmy Page, of “Led Zeppelin”, Marc Bolan of “T-Rex”, Joe Walsh, of the “James Gang”, Keith Richards and Mick Taylor, of “The Rolling Stones”, Ron Wood of “The Faces”, Billy Gibbons, of “ZZTop”, Joe Perry, of “Aerosmith”, Angus Young, of “AC/DC”, and Eric Clapton, the Les Paul Custom has been recognized around the world for its quality and uniqueness since the day of its conception.

In 1945, Les Paul, jazz guitarist and inventor, brought his concept for a solid-body electric guitar to Gibson, already a leading guitar company of the time. Not recognizing the genius behind the Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, they turned him down and called the prototype a “broom-stick with a pickup on it”.

 

Seven years later, with the growing popularity of the Fender Telecaster, Gibson was compelled to introduce the Les Paul as its first solid-body guitar, most likely the best move the company has ever made.

 

Produced after World War II, the Gibson Les Paul was one of the earliest commercially feasible solid-body electric guitars on the market. When Gibson released the Les Paul Custom in 1954 it sold for $325.00, today these guitars go for thousands of dollars.

 

The Les Paul Custom was the first Gibson to feature the “tune-o-matic” bridge, which is now standard in Gibson electric guitars. The “tune-o-matic” bridge, with individually adjustable string saddles, allowed for fine-tuning of the string lengths to guarantee precise intonation of the fretted notes along the whole string. In addition, The Les Paul Custom has a deep, mellow rhythmic sound with a piercing high lead voice, which produces a “fatter” sound than most other guitars, perfect for filling a crowded venue with pitch-perfect sound. Not high-tech by any means, the Les Paul Custom is valued for its solid, dependable quality, made in the USA.

 

The Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar is the finest of the Les Paul line.  Known to be a luxury model, the standard design features a glossy black paint job over the solid mahogany body and hard maple top. Its appearance is unmatched in the guitar world, with a wide variety of models to match the individuality of every talent who picks one up. Since its release in 1954, the Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar has managed to evolve, keeping up with the times and the changing world of music.

 

One thing is definitely certain, no matter the changes and innovations that the world of guitars will see in the future, the Les Paul’s Custom Electric Guitar will always remain in the foremost position as guitar of choice for the world’s greatest guitarists. The black beauty, so often seen in the hands and heard on the albums of legendary rock guitarists, boasts qualities that leave all other guitars in the dust, making it the guitar of choice for real guitarists.

Which gibson les paul is your favorite?

29th June

Out of all the gibson guitars, which one is your favorite?
Classic, standard, custom, or studio?

Custom by far…

need help about gibson les paul?

29th June

ok wats the diffence between gibosn les paul.
a gibson les paul standerd and a gibson les paul custom!!
any answers will help thank you guys!!=]

The maple neck combined with the ebony fretboard makes the Custom brighter, and clearer. But the Standard has a warmer sound that to me has more of a 'vintage' vibe about it. That's how they sound to my ears, and I love them both ! The Burstbucker Pros found on the Standard are awesome for the classic rock.

What's your dream guitar setup?

29th June

I'd go with a Gibson Les Paul custom and then swap an emg 81 in the bridge through a 68 Marshall Plexi, and for Pedals woud be dunlop slash crybaby wah, Ibanez ts9, boss chorus, reverb, delay and flange, mxr phase 90

Mine would have to be an American Standard Fender Stratocaster with dual humbuckers and whammy bar with ernie ball strings and texas special pickups. I would put that with a boss distortion pedal, a marshall half-stack, a eddie van halen phaser, dunlop zakk wylde or Jimi Hendrix Wah. An anti feed-back pedal, with a boss reverb pedal, a boss slapback delay pedal, a boss blues driver, a metal zone pedal and a jimi hendrix fuzzface.
