Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Antique VOS - EB

The Les Paul Custom model is one of the best sellers in the Gibson Custom catalog: a performing instrument, with a powerful sound and a distinctive look. But sometimes the Les Paul Custom, with its white binding, the glossy finish and its gold hardware, loses that charm of an instrument with over 50 years of history.

For this reason Gino Guitars in collaboration with the Gibson Custom Shop created through the Made 2 Measure program these wonderful "variations": the Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom Antique VOS.

The base model is a Les Paul Custom as we all know it, but going deep into details we will find many aspects borrowed from higher range models. We wanted to give these guitars a vintage look: that's why we choose a VOS finish, or a slightly opaque finish which replicates the effect of time without affecting the instrument with more invasive marks and cracks.

In the same direction goes the vintage colored binding, borrowed from the 1957 Les Paul Custom "Black Beauty" model, and the choice of a nickel-plated hardware, which immediately brings to mind the features of the original Les Paul Custom of the late 60s with their faded hardware.

Finally on electronics level we find, instead of the usual Gibson 490R and 498T, a set of Unpotted Custombucker, with a powerful tone but with a vintage "flavor".

An instrument that you can find only at Gino Guitars!
