USED GIBSON CLASSIC CUSTOM LES PAUL GUITAR OF THE WEEK #46 - EBONY WITH CASE

Gibson’s Guitar of the Week program built one limited model a week through 2007, and #46 is one of the most popular. This 2007 Les Paul Classic Custom is a three-pickup “Black Beauty” in Ebony with gold hardware. Only 400 were made worldwide.

It has a mahogany back with a carved maple top, and a mahogany neck with a slim ’60s profile that’s quick and easy to play. The neck has an ebony fingerboard with 22 frets and a 24¾" scale. The top has multi-ply binding, and the gold Grover Keystone tuners give it the classic Custom look.

All three pickups are gold-covered ‘57 Classic humbuckers. There’s a volume control for each pickup and one master tone, so you can mix the middle pickup into the neck or bridge sound instead of being stuck with fixed switch positions. The hardware is a gold Nashville Tune-o-matic and stopbar tailpiece.
