ROLLS ROYCE
Tobulas instrumentas :). bet nustebino dirzo laikikliu varztai. gitaros gale trigubai didesnis varztas negu priekije. Montuojant straplock bus sunku pritaikyti medvarzti. teks pasukti galva.
The sound is fantastisch, de afwerking kon iets beter (achteraan ontbreekt op een kleine plaats de kleur en lak)
Classic of the classics
What to say, LP Custom with Ebony (finally!!) fingerboard after years, on some Gibson forums I found some negative responds for qualitty check, but mine was superior fine, fretwork is done properly and almost feels like its done with PLEK machine
Great fat and juicy sound as you expects from LP Custom
Real deal and great year to take one!!
Black Magic
I have been fortunate to own this beautiful guitar twice in my time this one is my favourite the playability is awesome as is the tone a solid viola depth to lead breaks sounds wonderful.Beautiful pearl inlays with a solid black body,gold hardware finish off one of the most strikingly beautiful guitars of all time plus it’s full of magic.
Excellent
You get what you pay for with this one. Don't get fooled by people saying a Custom is not worth - it's the story of The Fox and Grapes. The only thing that disappointed me is that Gibson didn't throw in some pick in for my collection.
Amazing guitar
This is by far the most beautiful guitar I've seen coming out of the case. It's all I could have dreamed of when I was younger. Still playing this every day with a lot of enjoyment.
A superior Les Paul!
I bought this guitar mainly for recording purposes and for using it in music videos. First of all it's a beautiful instrument but you don't pay almost 4 grand for a piece of furniture. It excels in the sounds you get out of this masterpiece!
I know that many are sceptic about the richlite fretboards and people argue that this is not acceptable on Gibsons when you get ebony fretboards on Epiphone guitars for roughly 900¤.
At first I was also sceptic about richlite and thought it sounded a bit more harsh than the ebony fretboard but now after 3 months of playing it has begun to soften up a bit and get a more "ebony-esque" character. Compared to a 57 Black Beauty this Les Paul Custom has a more sharper sound thanks to the maple cap but in other aspects it's quite similar to the 57.
The only things I were not too happy with was some small scratches on the top of the guitar and a small ding in the binding on the headstock. But I am more concerned with the sound than the esthetics so I chose to keep the guitar because it delivers very clear chords and nice tight low end. The pickups are a bit "microphonic" as old Gibson pickups were back in the days and they are a bit too hot for high-gain sounds where they sometimes tend to pick up unwanted sounds. Having that said they work perfectly for rock, blues and jazz. If you plan on playing metal with this one I'd recommend changing the pickups.
This is an instrument meant for professional use and it's a guitar you buy once in your lifetime. If you are looking for a superior Les Paul this is it. I own one Gibson Les Paul Traditional from 2009 and it is also a great instrument but there are remarkable differencies in how much more precise a Les Paul Custom is compared to standard USA Les Pauls. If a normal Les Paul is a knife then the Custom is a scalpel.
It is worth the extra cash you put on from a normal Les Paul model in how it plays and how it sounds but the price is a bit steep for a hobby musician.
Amazing Guitar!
This is without doubt, the best guitar I have ever bought (or rather my wife bought for me)!
The Les Paul Custom is such an iconic guitar and from the moment I opened up the case, I felt like I had purchased a piece of musical history!
Sound wise, the pick ups deliver a rich, warm sound, typical of Les Pauls and it sound great in a variety of different amps. This guitar is, however, very heavy, so be warned. I would advise buying a decent strap and strap locks for confort and safety!
The neck is nice and chunky as a Les Paul should be, I would say it feels like somewhere between a 50s and 60s style neck.
You will struggle to find a better guitar than this!
