Packed with premium electronics and Custombucker pickups, the Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard Rock Top delivers that iconic Les Paul rock tone with sweet looks to match.
Special tonewood combination in a limited release
We've talked with countless guitarists here at Sweetwater, and we know there's a type of Les Paul fanatic that wants dense wood with no weight relief. For the Les Paul Standard Rock Top, Gibson Custom handpicked the densest Eastern maple tops along with the lightest mahogany bodies. It's a recipe for epic sustain and superior note definition. Gibson Custom is offering the Les Paul Standard Rock Top in a limited release of 100 instruments in each color.
Custombucker pickups deliver a staggering range of tone
Gibson Custom paid just as much attention to the Les Paul Standard Rock Top's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. This axe is fitted with a pair of Custombucker pickups plus CTS pots, a Switchcraft toggle switch, and a handwired harness. These pups will power everything from spanky single-coil rhythms to fat, blistering leads.
Real-deal nitrocellulose lacquer finish
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard Rock Top wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the guitar a timeless, classic look. Nitro finishes — standard back in the '50s and '60s — are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful, but they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities — so your Gibson Custom Les Paul Standard Rock Top sounds every bit as wicked as it looks.
