Full Description
View Full DescriptionA unique, stunning Koa top
Stand out from the crowd. Koa is a highly sought-after guitar wood for its tonal qualities and natural beauty, which is why we've handpicked it for this Custom Shop to truly show it off. A stunning flamed grain pattern draws the eye, with incredible grading stretching over every inch of the topwood.
Gear4Music selected aesthetics
To highlight the beauty of the outstanding Koa top, we’ve chosen black gloss and black finishes for the hardware; colour schemes the complements the wood rather than detracts from it. That goes for the walnut back and sides of the body too, which marry perfectly to the Koa's rustic style.
The finest Custom Shop style neck
Featuring a true-to-the-original long tenon style neck that's set further into the body, this Koa Les Paul offers an enhanced level of sustain and stability. In addition, it promises the peak of playability and aesthetics through its SlimTaper design with a cream binding that's polished down to a frictionless, smooth finish.
Exquisite ebony
Sublime. Not only is this premium tonewood in keeping with the guitar's overall aesthetic, but it also presents a surface that's born for riffing. From swift melodies to full-on shredding, this is the surface to do it on. And thanks to the slim profile of the Les Paul neck, you'll by firing out lead patterns without a hint of cramp on this masterfully sculpted board.
But it gets even better still! Gibson have equipped it with reissue fret wires that are a clone of the original Les Pauls, gifting you enhanced comfort and improved intonation across the scale length. Finished off with genuine mother of pear block inlays, your fingers will be guided around the registers with luxurious grace.
Custom Shop reliability and playability
The best of the best. A TOM bridge, Corian nut and Grober kidney-style tuners team together to guarantee a superb playing experience. One that's rich in sustain, reliable in tuning and accurate in intonation, courtesy of the Custom Shop's precision engineering. In particular, the premium Corian nut offers clear, buzz-free string vibrations thanks to its uniform, synthetic construction.
