First introduced in 1953, the Custom was the result of Les Paul’s own suggestion: a sleek, black guitar with the elegance and class of a tuxedo. With a solid mahogany body and a three-piece maple top, it’s got the perfect mix of warmth and bite, delivering that unmistakable Les Paul punch and sustain. From the very first chord, this guitar feels like it’s built for serious players who want tone, looks and rock-solid reliability. This elegant Buttercream finish replicates the look of the legendary Arctic White colour, which gracefully aged into a delicate yellow. Every detail has been recreated, from the multi-ply binding and Split Diamond headstock inlay to the gleaming gold hardware and 70s-era Witch Hat knobs. A pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, provide authentic vintage tone that cuts through the mix. Add Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Posi-Lok straplocks, and you’ve got a guitar that offers the reliability a gigging musician needs. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and complete with a hardshell case, the Les Paul Custom 70s is every bit the stage-ready classic it deserves to be.
