    Gibson Custom represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and tonal excellence, with each instrument honoring Gibson’s legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and meticulous attention to detail. The Les Paul Custom has long held a place at the top of the Gibson Custom Modern Collection, remaining a favorite of players across generations. Since its introduction in late 1953, it has built its reputation on elegant, tuxedo-inspired styling, and this new model continues that tradition while offering a distinctive twist.

     

    The Les Paul Custom Long Scale retains the full suite of features associated with the Modern Collection version, while introducing a 25.5-inch scale length in place of the traditional 24.75-inch scale. This extended scale delivers added snap, clarity, and string tension, making it especially appealing to players who prefer a firmer response or frequently use drop tunings.

     

    Its construction begins with a one-piece mahogany body with nine-hole weight relief, reducing overall weight while preserving resonance and sustain. A two-piece plain maple top adds clarity and definition to the warmth and midrange richness of the mahogany body. Multi-ply binding on the top and back reinforces its premium aesthetic and underscores its place within the Modern Collection. The mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable Modern Medium C profile and fitted with a long neck tenon for enhanced sustain and tonal transfer. A bound ebony fretboard with a 12-inch radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl block inlays completes the playing surface. The multi-ply bound headstock is fitted with a Corian nut, Grover kidney-button tuners, and adorned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and split diamond inlay.

     

    Gold-plated hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece. A calibrated pair of humbuckers, with a 490R in the neck position and a 498T at the bridge, both fitted with gold-plated covers, is hand-wired with CTS potentiometers, a Switchcraft three-way toggle switch, and a Switchcraft 1/4-inch output jack. Together, they deliver a broad tonal range, from warm, articulate clean sounds to powerful modern overdrive.

     

    Each Les Paul Custom Long Scale includes a Gibson Custom hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity. It is an outstanding choice for players who love the classic style, feel, and voice of a Les Paul Custom while seeking the added versatility and response of a longer scale length.
