The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s celebrates the era when the Custom model evolved into one of the most refined and sought-after guitars in Gibson’s history. Originally introduced in 1953 at Les Paul’s request as a sleek, “tuxedo-styled” instrument, the Les Paul Custom underwent major transformations through the 1970s, and this modern reissue captures the spirit, sound, and craftsmanship of that golden age.
Featuring a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top, this Custom delivers the perfect balance of warmth and brightness that defined countless rock records of the decade. The multi-ply binding on the top, back, and headstock, along with a single-ply bound ebony fretboard, reinforces its luxurious design. A maple neck with a 70s profile and volute offers exceptional stability and a fast, comfortable feel, while the 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl block inlays provide classic Gibson playability and look.
Under the hood, a pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers deliver that unmistakable 70s Les Paul tone—articulate, punchy, and full of sustain. The electronics are hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring smooth, vintage-accurate response. Every detail stays true to the era, from the Witch Hat knobs and Posi-Lok strap buttons to the 5-ply pickguard and Grover Rotomatic tuners.
Topped off with all-gold hardware, including an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, the Les Paul Custom 70s is a stunning blend of craftsmanship, tone, and heritage. Available in several gloss nitrocellulose finishes—Ebony, Tobacco Burst, Wine Red, and Buttercream Top—each guitar ships in a Gibson hardshell case for premium protection.
