2009 Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

Timeless Elegance with Modern Versatility

The Les Paul body style is celebrated for its classic, timeless elegance, reminiscent of a refined tuxedo. This Custom Shop model stands out with its factory gold hardware, masterfully blending traditional aesthetics with contemporary flair. The striking heritage cherry sunburst finish is virtually untouched, free from scratches or blemishes. This Les Paul Custom is a rare find, showing little to no signs of play. The frets and fingerboard are immaculate, making this guitar a true "case queen." The 3D figuring on the top of this guitar is stunning, shifting in appearance as the light and viewing angle change.

Powerful Tone and Smooth Playability

Equipped with 490R and 498T pickups, this Les Paul delivers a rich, resonant tonal range that appeals to a variety of musicians. The dark Ebony fretboard provides a smooth, responsive playing surface, with minimal fretwear ensuring the guitar is ready for extensive use. The neck profile offers a perfect blend of the thicker feel of early '50s models with the slimmer dimensions of '60s designs, providing a comfortable grip that suits diverse playing styles.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

As a flagship model from the Gibson Custom Shop, this Les Paul Custom exemplifies top-tier craftsmanship. It maintains the high standards set in the 1950s while adapting to the needs of modern musicians. The heritage cherry sunburst finish, complemented by gold hardware, creates a visually striking instrument. The 490R/498T humbucker set delivers dynamic tonal versatility, while the solid Ebony fingerboard, extended neck tenon for enhanced sustain, and meticulously crafted maple top over a solid mahogany body come together to produce a crisp, articulate tone that excels across genres, from jazz to hard rock.
