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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGibson Custom now introduces a distinctive take on this celebrated instrument. This new Les Paul Custom retains the full complement of features from the Modem Collection version but pairs them with a 25.5\" scale length rather than the traditional 24.75\". The 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe 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 Modem Collection. The 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-pear Gibson logo and split diamond inlay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGold-plated hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge and StopBar 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 toggleswitch, and a Switchcraft 1\/4” output jack. This setup provides a wide sonic range, from warm jazz textures to high-gain modern tones, and everything inbetween.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach 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","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332279783699,"sku":"CS601340","price":5799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cs601340_lg1.jpg?v=1782926715","url":"https:\/\/wildwoodguitars.com\/products\/cs601340-custom-shop-les-paul-custom-long-scale-launch-7-1-26","provider":"Wildwood Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
