Les Paul himself requested the model, wanting a black version of the Les Paul guitar that “looked like a tuxedo.” In 1961, the single-cutaway Les Paul Custom was discontinued in favor of a new double-cutaway model that would later become known as the SG™ Custom, and the original single-cutaway model was reintroduced in 1968. During the 1970s, production of the Les Paul Custom transitioned from Kalamazoo to Nashville, and the Les Paul Custom received various changes that further refined the model, including a multi-piece maple top that replaced the original all-mahogany-body construction, along with a new maple neck. Today, these 70s-era Les Paul Customs are some of the fastest-appreciating guitars on the vintage market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, after 20 years of offering the Les Paul Custom only through Gibson Custom, Gibson is proud to release the Les Paul Custom 70s. It features classic 1970s specs, including a mahogany body with a three-piece maple top. The body is bound with 5-ply top binding and 3-ply back binding. The maple neck has a 70s profile and a volute and is topped with a bound ebony fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl block inlays. The bound headstock is also adorned with mother-of-pearl in the form of the famous Custom Split Diamond headstock inlay, which originated with the Gibson Super 400 and has become synonymous with the Les Paul Custom. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul Custom 70s features gold hardware, including an aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and smooth-turning Grover® Rotomatic® with Keystone button tuners for reliable tuning stability. Even the smallest details have been recreated, including Posi-Lok™ strap locks, a 5-ply pickguard, and 70s-era-approved Witch Hat control knobs. The electronics are also era-appropriate, with a pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers™ with individual volume and tone controls that are hand-wired to Orange Drop® capacitors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Les Paul Custom 70s is available in five gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, including Ebony, Tobacco Burst, Wine Red, and a version with a beautiful Buttercream Top. Each comes packed in a hardshell case for protection when it’s in storage and traveling. The wait is over–The Les Paul Custom has returned to the Gibson USA lineup and is ready to rock your world! \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Les Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-Ply Top, Back, and Headstock; Single-Ply Fretboard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70s, With Volute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glued In, Set Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Inlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mother of Pearl Block\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Frets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.75\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graph Tech\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calibrated T-Type Bridge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Calibrated T-Type Neck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone; Hand-Wired with Orange Drop Capacitors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Way Toggle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Jack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum Nashville Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grover Rotomatic with Keystone Button\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-Ply Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Witch Hat with Gold Insert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cream\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchwasher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black with Gold Text\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 - Posi-Lok\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadstock Inlay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gibson Logo and Custom Split Diamond Inlay in Mother of Pearl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardshell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes Gibson Accessory Kit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrings:\u003c\/strong\u003e .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43568641933371,"sku":"LPCU700EBGH1-211860271","price":3999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/6190\/4699\/files\/211860271-1.jpg?v=1788451591","url":"https:\/\/willcuttguitars.com\/products\/gibson-les-paul-custom-70s-ebony-271-lpcu700ebgh1-211860271","provider":"Willcutt Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
