The Gibson Custom Shop has a longstanding tradition of reissuing specific models of 1950’s and ‘60s electric guitars. The Music Zoo has a longstanding tradition of taking our favorite features of specific models and combining them to make something new and different. Combine the fine craftsmanship of the Gibson Custom Shop and our Music Zoo tweaker tendencies and we present the Zoo Select series. One-off ideas of ours created by the Gibson Custom Shop to our specifications, whether it is a custom neck profile, a specific burst over a certain type of top wood, or a unique pickup combination. After all, the Gibson Custom Shop is in fact – a custom shop.
We turned up the capital "\m/" Metal on this Les Paul Standard by giving it an ebony finish all around with a brushed satin neck feel, not to mention a slim V3 neck profile, kept the cream binding and trapezoid inlays, but added in active EMG humbuckers for a guitar that can push any amount of gain from a modern amplifier. Lastly the guitar has nickel Grover tuners for different look than the usual Kluson tuners.
