Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom

Colossal Customs

When the first Les Paul Custom was born in 1954, the mountains shook and the heavens trembled at its awesome might and power (we might be embellishing here, but only slightly). The Les Paul Custom shook up the musical world when it arrived because it has such an alluring combination of raw muscle and elegant, stately styling. In a way, it’s like the six-string equivalent of James Bond: sure, it might look fancy, but don’t blink, because it’s deadly and it has a license to kill.

The Les Paul Custom has undergone many changes since 1954, and we are proud to showcase guitars that represent each stage of its fascinating evolution. We invite you to browse our selection below and find one that blows your bangs up. We’re sure that one of these sophisticated beasts will bring you all sorts of sonic delights!
