Specifications etc.
"Les Paul Custom" is one of the less produced Les Paul series of Gibson Custom Shop.
The newly arrived custom, named Original Black Beauty, is elegant and gorgeous, and the combination of ebony black color and gold parts makes it very elegant.
The specs are based on its 57-year history, and feature an all-mahogany body, ebony fingerboard, diamond head inlay, and multi-layer binding for the body and head, giving it a luxurious look befitting a high-end model.
Not to mention the plastic button waffle back tuner.
The parts are equipped with true historic grade ones.
The neck feels like a thick 50s Rounded Medium C shape.
The pickup, which is the key to the sound, is equipped with a custom Alnico 3 backer that is not potted.
The Les Paul Custom has a strong image of being a guitar specialized in heavy genres due to the artists who use it.
This is not the case and it can be used in a surprisingly wide range of ways. It was originally developed for jazz guitarists at the time, and it has a very wide range in terms of musical genres.
The case is a black hard case that has not been aged.
sound impression etc.
Compared to the standard, the custom has a cleaner, jazzier sound without being too bulgy in the low range, and the benefit of the ebony fingerboard creates a tighter sound and better response to the sound. The actual sound is solid, so even if you distort it, the sound of the chord will remain.
Tight and powerful sound with custom solid weight and hard ebony fingerboard.
When playing clean, the sound is very clear and well-defined. The sound is very clear without muddying the low range.
It is not too peaky in the rear position, and has a firm core even in the sweet front position.
Outputs a clear sound without being too muffled.
Even when distorted, you can enjoy a very pleasant drive sound without losing such clarity and clarity.
As you further increase the gain, the midrange characteristic of mahogany gradually emerges, producing a powerful sound that easily adapts to intense distortion. The response to picking is also very good, and you can accurately pick up even the smallest nuances.
It's true and lasts a lifetime! ! This is our black beauty! ! Hurry up!
murphy lab
Murphy Lab is a new lab located inside the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville. By combining the lacquer processing technology newly developed for this series with hand-aging techniques, the result is a model that recreates the look and feel of vintage guitars.
The ultra-thin lacquer not only has a vintage-like feel, but also physically reproduces the deterioration caused by aging, realistically reproducing the sound of the wood as if it had been used for many years.
Murphy Lab will consist of 50 types of aged products based on the Historic Collection. More than 25 years have passed since the start of the Historic Collection, and during that time the 1959 Les Paul Standard Reissue has undergone numerous refinements to improve its perfection.
In 2013-14, we adopted glue-bonded and tubeless truss rods.
In 2015-16, TrueHistoric was introduced, recreating the artisanal touch of the Kalamazoo Factory era.
In 2017-18, the neck shape and top curve were revised, a feat that brought it closer to the original.
The 60th anniversary model from 2019 to 2020 has the head logo and position mark reproduced, and the oil condenser and pot curves have been changed to reproduce the vintage tone nuance.
The long-awaited ultimate model, Murphy Lab, has arrived.
The new product has been finished in UltraHeaveyAged, which is the most intense of the 4 aging grades in the series.
