## Description

The Les Paul Custom, introduced in 1954, has been affectionately nicknamed the Black Beauty and the Fretless Wonder. By any name, it has always represented the highest level of elegance and beauty in the Les Paul family. 490R HumbuckerThis "Modern Classic" pickup features tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic, but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. The special Alnico II magnet gives these beauties a singing quality that delivers on demand. 498T HumbuckerPut a slightly hotter Alnico V magnet into a specially wound coil combination, and you get the 498T "Hot Alnico." With its higher output and emphasis on mid-ranges and highs, the 498T is the perfect rock pickup

The new Gibson is more beutifull than ever a true rock guitar beutifull sound great looking slimmed down .u feel its strength and sounds explosive.truely the best guitar in the world.thank you Gibson

### ⭐ Worst invention since napalm
*by R***W on 11 December 2019*

"Upgraded" from a daisy rock and this is dreadful in comparison.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Ebony, an Elegy
*by R***Z on 19 May 2015*

The richlite board is the only thing to mention here, this being a model made the same with the same materials since the 1950's. Whether 'richlite' affects tone considerably or not on an electric guitar is obviously a huge never ending argument. Some say pickups are all that matter, others, that its the combination of wood and pickups. What I noticed is the look. Ebony vs. this new composite stuff, which can look grey in a certain light, or plastic. So, at these prices you've got too face the fact that you're not buying a piece of furniture as aesthetically pleasing as they once were. You can be satisfied that Ethically you're on message, but fact is, Ebony rainforest is owned and managed ethically by Taylor, who Gibson are loathe to buy Ebony off for their boards (don't want to pay the middleman, except for incredibly expensive custom shop models like the recent Robbie Kreiger black beauty). Perhaps because Taylor is being ethical by allowing the variegated, natural woodstreaking in Ebony, not discarding all but the pure black pieces. Suffice to say, as regards the Custom, The old ones are going to hold value over this new ersatz model. So buy this and weep.
