Gibson Les Paul Custom '70s Buttercream Top

Les Paul Custom '70s Buttercream Top Item Description

This is the new Gibson USA Les Paul Custom 70s with a Butterscotch top finish and ebony for the body and neck for a classy, tuxedo-like appearance! It features classic 1970s specs, including a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top. The body is bound with 5-ply top binding and 3-ply back binding. The maple neck has a 70s profile and a volute and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl block inlays. The bound headstock is also adorned with mother-of-pearl in the form of the famous Custom Split Diamond mother-of-pearl headstock inlay, which originated with the Gibson Super 400 and has become synonymous with the Les Paul Custom. The Les Paul Custom 70s features gold hardware, including an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and smooth-turning Grover Rotomatic with Keystone button tuners for reliable tuning stability.

Even the smallest details have been recreated, including Posi-Lok strap locks, a 5-ply pickguard, and 70s-era-approved Witch Hat control knobs. The electronics are also era-appropriate, with a pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers with individual volume and tone controls that are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
