Gibson Les Paul Custom ’70s in Buttercream

The 1970s marked a major turning point for the Les Paul Custom and for Gibson itself. With production moving from Kalamazoo to Nashville, the model underwent significant changes that set it apart from earlier versions. A three-piece maple top replaced the traditional all-mahogany body, and a maple neck was introduced, giving these guitars a unique tonal character all their own.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s faithfully captures the magic of these legendary original instruments. It features a classic Mahogany body, and a multi-piece Maple top, a feature which was introduced in the 1970s. The body is bound with 5-ply top binding and 3-ply back binding alongside 70s era Witch Hat control knobs, which completes the 70s aesthetics.
