{"product_id":"gibson-les-paul-custom-long-scale-ebony","title":"Gibson Les Paul Custom Long Scale - Ebony","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul™ Custom has long stood at the top of the Gibson Custom Modern Collection, remaining a go-to choice for generations of players. Since its debut in late 1953, the model has upheld its reputation with its refined, tuxedo-style detailing, and this new chapter continues that legacy. Gibson Custom now introduces a distinctive take on this celebrated instrument. This new Les Paul Custom retains the full complement of features from the Modern Collection version but pairs them with a 25.5” scale length rather than the traditional 24.75”. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a feel and response that will appeal to players who favor the added snap of a longer scale, as well as those who regularly explore drop tunings. The Les Paul Custom Long Scale’s construction centers on a one-piece mahogany body with nine-hole weight relief for reduced weight and lively resonance, capped with a two-piece plain maple top that adds clarity and definition to the mahogany’s warmth and midrange. Multi-ply binding on the body’s top and back reinforces its status within the Modern Collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe long-scale mahogany neck, carved to a comfortable Modern Medium C profile, is joined with a long neck tenon for excellent sustain and tonal transfer. A bound ebony fretboard with a 12” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl block inlays completes the playing surface. The multi-ply bound headstock features a Corian® nut, Grover® kidney-button tuners, and 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 humbucker™ pickups, with a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge, both with gold-plated covers, is hand-wired with CTS® potentiometers, a Switchcraft® three-way toggle switch, and a Switchcraft® 1\/4” output jack. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup provides a wide sonic range, from warm jazz textures to high-gain modern tones, and everything in between. Each Les Paul Custom Long Scale ships with a Gibson Custom hardshell case and a Certificate of Authenticity. It’s an exceptional choice for players who appreciate the classic look, feel, and voice of a Les Paul Custom but prefer the musical possibilities offered by a longer scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBody\u003cbr\u003eShape: Les Paul\u003cbr\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eTop: Maple\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Multi-ply top and back \u0026amp; single play neck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeck\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eProfile: Les Paul Custom Modern\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 647.7 mm\u003cbr\u003eNut Material: Corian\u003cbr\u003eInlay: Pearl block\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHardware\u003cbr\u003eBridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eKnobs: Black Speed\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece: Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuners: Grover Rotomatic\u003cbr\u003ePlating: Gold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronics\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup: 490R\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup: 498T\u003cbr\u003eControls: 2 volume, 2 tone, 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49710425866482,"sku":"BM711106237213","price":10999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6363\/5698\/files\/LPCLS-EBGH1E_1.png?v=1782440644","url":"https:\/\/www.bettermusic.com.au\/products\/gibson-les-paul-custom-long-scale-ebony","provider":"Better Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
