The Gibson Les Paul Custom Guitar Blog

http://www.frettedamericana.com/details.php?id=964&counter=0

This medium weight Les Paul Custom weighs 10.70 lbs. and has a solid mahogany body with a slightly arched top. One-piece mahogany neck with a nice medium profile, a comfortable nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Ebony fretboard with 22 original thin frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. The top of the guitar has seven-ply binding, the back of the guitar has five-ply binding, the headstock has five-ply binding, and the fretboard has single white binding. Headstock with inlaid pearl “Gibson” logo and five-piece pearl split-diamond inlay. Two-layer (black on white) truss-rod cover with “Les Paul Custom” engraved in white. Serial Individual Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. The serial number (”010513″) is inked in yellow on the back of the headstock. Three really hot PAF (double-black) humbucking pickups with very strong outputs of 8.16k, 8.14k, and 7.76k. Five-layer (black/white/black/white/black) plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. Black plastic bell-shaped “Bell” knobs. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated.The potentiometers are all stamped: “134 6043″ (Centralab October 1960). There is some very light belt buckle scarring on the back of the guitar (nothing down to the wood), a small piece of binding (1/2 inch) is missing from the edge of the headstock just above the “G” tuner. There are a couple of surface chips on the edges of the guitar, the most significant being on the treble-horn where there is also a small (3/4 inch) cut. A few tiny surface marks on the front of the guitar, and some very minor tarnishing to the gold-plated hardware. The original frets show little-to-medium wear. That all said, this totally original ‘60 Custom — with a neck and a sound to die for — is certainly one of the finest that we have ever seen. At just over ten-and-a-half pounds It is on the medium-to-heavy side for a Custom - but the extra weight shows most positively in the sound. This is an amazing one-owner guitar in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition and this is the first time that it is being offered for sale. Housed in its original (very worn) Gibson black pebble-grain “black beauty” hardshell case with orange plush lining (7.50).

I tried to make a more extensive comparision between the Les Paul & The SG.

I don’t know what happend with the sound quality but it sounds crappier & more harsh than before.

The amp is a peavey classic 30 and it’s exactly with the two guitars.

Guitar 1: Gibson Les Paul standard 04 with burstbucker #2 (bridge) and Burstbucker #1 (neck)

Guitar 2: Gibson SG 61 RI 03. Burstbucker #3 (bridge) and Burstbucker #2 (neck).

The LP is a little bassy though they sound pretty alike in the video.

Hope this helps!
