The LP "Classic Custom," is based on the LP Custom, without the back body binding.
It is NO longer in production. Was a "limited production edition," at it's inception.
Came "stock" with Classic '57 pickups, and Chrome hardware, with acrylic neck
position markers, and headstock inlays, and "baked maple" fingerboard. Hence,
the considerable price difference, to the LP Custom. It IS, however, and outstanding
guitar, all the way around!

Solid combination of tonewoods
The Les Paul Classic Custom features a combination of tonewoods that's set the bar for rock guitars- and for good reason! The tried-and-true combination of a genuine mahogany body topped with beautiful carved maple practically define the Gibson Les Paul. You can count on the Les Paul Classic Custom to deliver the rich and tone with a well-balanced top end you crave.
Baked maple fretboard looks sharp and adds spank
Here's something you don't see every day, a baked maple fretboard. Why does Gibson use baked maple? The answer's simple. Baking removes the water from the Les Paul Classic Custom's maple fretboard, adding a snappier attack to its natural spank. What's more, baked maple is both environmentally friendly and it gives the Les Paul Classic Custom a cool, original look.
Perfect pair of PAF-style pickups
Nothing beats the sound of classic PAF humbuckers like the ones found on the Les Paul Classic Custom. That's why Gibson brought back the original PAF sound, when they created their '57 Classic humbucker, which perfectly capture the sound of the original dual-coil model. Warm, full, and beautifully balanced, these amazing pickups give the Les Paul Classic Custom that instantly recognizable Les Paul sound.
