Gibson Les Paul Custom Studio, Burgundy Plum (Amazon Exclusive)

If you're expecting to get a Les Paul with all the bells and whistles, this Gibson is not for you. This is a bare-bones LP meant for studio production use, not to make a fashion statement on-stage. I understand why there was a bad review due to the damage from shipping, but that feedback should be provided about the seller, not the product. That being said, this is a very good instrument for the price and an authentic piece of the Gibson family of guitars.

So happy with this guitar. Plays great, looks great and didn't pay all the dough for a real Gibson made in the USA!

Custom Special - Nice looking, nice sounding (at least on EL84s, at least the neck pickups which I use 90% time). The pickups are no Classic 57s but not bad at all. Arrived with a lifting fretboard, but I don't know if it is Gibson's, or Amazon's or my international shipper's (LBC Shipping Cart) fault. Ordered Titebond and fixed it myself. Contrary to others' experience, the tuners held tune just fine, but feels flimsy (upgraded mine with Grovers). I had no problem with lowering action as well, pots are Korean-made as reported by others, but they are smooth and fine - no need to upgrade. Love the feel of the neck. Mine has no finishing issues.

I love the build quality, the paint, the finish, and most of all the tone of this guitar. The price point was a good balance between quality and value.

Great guitar for the price. The denim color seems more green than blue but overall this is a great deal for a USA guitar. But its not all USA The volume and tone pots say Korea on them. Not sure about the pickups but Im going to think they are Korean too. Guess they took a look at PRS S2 and said if they can put Korean electronics we can too. Photo attached.

Holy disappointment Bat Man! I love the look of these guitars so I ordered one and this is what I got. The finish is beautiful and the sound Is good but who wants a damaged headstock? In all likelihood, the headstock will totally break off. I am not sure if this is a shipping or Gibson issue. This guitar came with no documentation or hardware and was not shipped in the original packaging. Crack in the neck at the headstock is shown in the pictures.

I love this guitar... it had a couple blemishes, so it was discounted... thanks... a awesome purchase.

Not a traditional but well made and lighter with a pretty decent tone. Neck feels good but I’d say I my hands are average.
