Gibson Custom recreates the formula here with a solid mahogany body, two piece plain maple top and that unmistakable Double Gold finish with dark back. The VOS nitrocellulose finish adds the lightly aged patina of an instrument that has already spent some quality time making music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGibson Custom Shop Vintage Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details go deep. The maple top and Indian rosewood fingerboard are hide glue fitted, while the mahogany neck uses a substantial Chunky C profile. A 12 inch fingerboard radius and 22 Historic Gibson narrow tall frets deliver a familiar Les Paul playing platform. Aged cellulose nitrate trapezoid inlays, Royalite binding and a nylon nut complete the period focused package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustombucker Alnico III Humbuckers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers handles the electrical side of the equation. The traditional control layout provides independent volume and tone controls for the neck and bridge pickups along with a three way toggle selector. CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers and paper in oil capacitors round out an electronics package built around the classic dual humbucker Les Paul format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistoric Gibson Hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware follows the same vintage inspired approach with a No Wire ABR 1 bridge, lightweight aluminum Stop Bar and Kluson Single Line, Single Ring tuners. Butyrate Gold Top Hat knobs, an Amber Catalin switch tip and period inspired plastics carry the historic details throughout the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble Gold Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the classic combination: mahogany, maple, rosewood and a pair of humbuckers wrapped in one of the most recognizable finishes Gibson ever produced.
