The Les Paul Custom is back!

Les Paul Custom 70s in four classic finishes

Tobacco Burst, Ebony, Buttercream Top and Wine Red.

In celebration of Gibsons 50th anniversary in Nashville, the legendary Les Paul Custom makes its long awaited return to the Gibson lineup.

Originally launched in 1953 as a more refined take on the classic Les Paul, the Custom model was born from Les Pauls own vision— he wanted a sleek, black guitar that exuded elegance, like a tuxedo. 

Now, for the first time in two decades, Gibson is proud to reintroduce the Les Paul Custom 70s. This model faithfully captures the spirit of the era, featuring a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top, 5-ply top binding, and 3-ply back binding.

The maple neck sports a 70s-style profile with a volute and is paired with a bound ebony fretboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl block inlays. The headstock, also bound, showcases the iconic Custom Split Diamond inlay. Gold hardware completes the vintage aesthetic. A pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers™ delivers era-accurate tone, with hand-wired electronics and Orange Drop® capacitors ensuring rich, expressive sound.

Available in four stunning gloss nitrocellulose finishes:Ebony, Tobacco Burst, Wine Red, and Buttercream top.

The Les Paul Custom is back—and its ready to make history all over again.
