Gibson Les Paul Custom Classic Light

A Lighter, Thinner, Smoky-sweet Les Paul

Lightweight, yet completely nailing the classic Les Paul tone, this Gibson Les Paul Custom Classic Light solidbody electric guitar is here to celebrate Gibson’s 120th birthday. This Les Paul’s thinner, maple-topped mahogany body utilizes traditional 9-hole weight relief to make it light and comfortable while also increasing its resonance, so (when combined with its twin humbuckers) this electric guitar gives you a thick wall of fat, smoky sound with sweet, stinging highs. You won’t believe the incredible sustain that you get from this Les Paul’s chunky rounded C-shape neck. When we first heard this Gibson Les Paul Custom Classic Light at Sweetwater, we were blown away by how much punch and power this lean, ready-to-rock solidbody electric guitar can deliver!

Maple-topped mahogany body delivers legendary Les Paul tone

Gibson’s Les Paul Custom Classic Light solidbody electric guitar gives you the robust sustain you need for hot liquid solos and massive power chords. What’s Gibson’s secret? A major part of the Les Paul’s tonewood recipe is the fusion of a maple top on a mahogany body. This combination is largely responsible for the legendary Les Paul sound, as well its reputation for being rather heavy. But fear not! Traditional 9-hole weight relief has been scientifically applied to this Les Paul, giving you all the sustain, without the pain.
