Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s - Ebony with Hardshell Case

The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s: Where Vintage Style Meets Modern Performance

Iconic 70s Design with Flawless Craftsmanship

The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s in Ebony is more than a tribute to a classic era—it's a return to form. Gibson has brought this revered model back into the USA lineup after two decades of Custom Shop exclusivity, reviving all the essential hallmarks that defined the original 1970s Les Paul Custom. With its tuxedo-like elegance, multi-ply binding, and ornate mother-of-pearl inlays, this guitar oozes stage-ready sophistication while capturing the authentic feel and response of a true vintage icon.

Tone That’s Built to Roar

Under the hood, the Les Paul Custom 70s boasts a tonewood pairing that’s rich in history and even richer in sonic character. A solid mahogany body is topped with three pieces of carved maple for added snap and definition. Calibrated T-Type humbuckers in the neck and bridge deliver vintage-voiced power with exceptional warmth, clarity, and midrange bite. Whether you’re leaning into warm jazz runs, overdriven blues, or hard rock chugs, this guitar reacts with vintage growl and refined sustain.

Playability Designed for the Stage

The 70s-profile maple neck with volute adds structural strength and a comfortable grip, making long sessions feel effortless. The 24.75-inch scale and bound ebony fretboard host 22 medium jumbo frets adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays. A Graph Tech nut and Grover Rotomatic tuners provide exceptional tuning stability, while the aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece keep everything intonated with precision. Every touchpoint has been meticulously thought out to deliver supreme feel and function.

Vintage Appointments That Complete the Look

No detail was overlooked in the re-creation of this classic. Gold hardware adds a striking contrast to the gloss nitrocellulose Ebony finish, while Witch Hat knobs and a 5-ply pickguard enhance the visual nod to its heritage. Inside, hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors preserve the signal integrity and tone-shaping fidelity that discerning players demand.

A Timeless Classic, Ready to Travel

The Les Paul Custom 70s ships in a robust hardshell case and includes case candy for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Whether you're building a studio arsenal or heading to the stage, this guitar stands ready to perform at the highest level with timeless elegance and unrivaled tone.
