Used And Vintage Electric Guitars

Ready to see something special?  Here now is a modern Gibson classic, this Custom Shop Les Paul in Silverburst. This guitar is everything you want from a Gibson Les Paul, from its iconic single-cut body shape to its powerful humbucking pickups, in one of the coolest finishes they've ever done.  You rarely see these, so we were pretty excited to get this one in!  It came to us from one of our top clients, who keeps all of his gear in pristine shape - this is no exception.
 
This Gibson Custom Shop comes with a mahogany body with a maple top, giving you the best tonal combination possible for warmth, and sustain. The set mahogany neck comes with a smooth finish and "C" neck profile with medium jumbo frets with a resonant ebony fingerboard giving you improved tone, sustain, and feel.  We noticed right away how comfortable the neck is to play.
  
Packed with a set of custom 490R and 498T humbuckers, you get the awesome powerful punchy tone and clarity for any style of music. From clean to overdriven to all-out monstrous gain, this guitar can handle it all!  For more about the pickups, scroll down below the specs and get the full story.
  
This guitar is in excellent condition and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  It comes with its original hardshell case as well as the Certificate of Authenticy.  For those that want the best of the best, in Silverburst, this is it!

This pickup set combines the 490R and the 498T. The 490R has the traditional characteristics of the original Patent Applied For pickups but with two key modifications. First, a four-conductor wiring scheme allows the 490s to be connected to any push/pull knob, which lets players split the coils and increase versatility. Gibson also introduced wax potting, which does away with any air space, minimizing microphonic feedback. The 490R is a humbucker with the tonal characteristics of an original Patent Applied For, with a slight increase in upper midrange response.

Gibson's 498T humbucker™ is a high-output version of the 490T. It combines the more powerful response of an Alnico 5 magnet with additional balanced windings on each coil, which puts the emphasis on the pickup's upper midrange frequencies for enhanced crunch and sustain. The 498T is perfect for any hard rock application, easily overdriving amplifiers for a beefy, sizzling output that boosts any guitar's power and presence. The pole pieces on the 498T are also aligned a little further apart to accommodate the spacing of the strings at the bridge, which is different than the spacing of the strings at the neck. This aids in producing powerful leads and thick rhythm without sacrificing single-note definition. Like the 490R, the 498T features shielded, four-conductor wiring for series, parallel, or split coil operation and is fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback.
