Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop 2018 Vintage Cherry Sunburst

In 1958, Gibson parted ways with the gold finish on the Les Paul Model and introduced the ‚¬Å“Les Paul Standard,‚¬ï¿½ a refresh that featured a center-seam maple top, red aniline dye back and sides, and a beautiful transparent Cherry Sunburst finish. While only that one color was available originally, exposure to sunlight and subtle variations have made each original example unique in color. Gibson Custom picked four beautiful sunburst variations for the new 2018 Historic Collection, each bringing out all the character of the unique maple tops. And just like the 1958 originals, the neck profiles on these Historic models are just a bit beefier on average when compared to a 1959 a comfortable chunky C-shape. Two new updates for 2018 include the inclusion of all True Historic-spec parts and, for the first time, narrow/tall frets which bring the tone and playability closer to the character of the originals. Available in Gloss or VOS (vintage patina) finishes. Left-handed models available as well. ‚¬¢ Series Gibson Custom Historic Collection ‚¬¢ Body Style Les Paul ‚¬¢ Back Lightweight Solid Mahogany Body ‚¬¢ Top 2 Piece Plain Maple Top ‚¬¢ Weight relief n/a ‚¬¢ Neck Solid Mahogany, Long Tenon, Hide Glue Fit ‚¬¢ Neck profile Medium Chunky, .9‚¬ï¿½ depth at nut, 1.0‚¬ï¿½ at 12th fret ‚¬¢ Nut width 1.687‚¬ï¿½, 42.85mm ‚¬¢ Fingerboard Solid Ebony, Hide Glue Fit ‚¬¢ Scale length 24.75‚¬ï¿½, 62.865cm ‚¬¢ Number of frets 22 ‚¬¢ Nut Nylon ‚¬¢ Inlay Cellulose Trapezoid ‚¬¢ Bridge ABR-1 ‚¬¢ Tailpiece Lightweight Aluminum ‚¬¢ Knobs Replica Butyrate Gold Top Hats ‚¬¢ Tuners Single Band Kluson Deluxe ‚¬¢ Plating Nickel ‚¬¢ Neck pickup Custombucker ‚¬¢ Bridge pickup Custombucker ‚¬¢ Controls 2 500K CTS Volume Pots, 2 500K CTS Tone Pots, Hand-Wired Harness with Bumblebee Capacitors, Switchcraft Toggle Switch ‚¬¢ Case Brown/Pink Lacquered 50s Replica Case
