Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s in Tobacco Burst

Originally conceived in 1953 as Les Paul’s “tuxedo” guitar, the Les Paul Custom reached a defining evolution in the 1970s—now faithfully revived in the Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s. Built to authentic ’70s specifications, it features a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top, multi-ply binding, and the iconic Split Diamond headstock inlay. A maple neck with a 70s profile and volute pairs with a bound ebony fretboard for a refined yet powerful feel. Outfitted with gold hardware and Calibrated T-Type humbuckers hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors, this Les Paul delivers classic Custom elegance with unmistakable vintage punch.
