Until 2025 these have only been built in the Custom Shop for the last 20+ years.<\/p>\n<p>The spec is standard Custom Shop Les Paul Custom &#8211; a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, mahogany neck and an ebony fingerboard, paired with the long-running 490R\/498T humbucker set. The neck has a medium rounded C profile with a 12&#8243; radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets, giving a familiar modern Gibson feel. Hardware is the usual Les Paul Custom recipe: Tune-O-Matic bridge, stop tailpiece and keystone-style tuners with gold plating.<\/p>\n<p>This example shows slightly more than typical playwear: a few dings on the top and some scuffs on the back, but nothing structural or otherwise serious. Frets are perfect. Weight is 4600g. It comes in a Gibson USA hard case, likely not the original Custom Shop case, with no COA or case candy included.<\/p>\n<p>SPECIFICATIONS<\/p>\n<p><strong>Body<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Body material: Solid mahogany back<\/li>\n<li>Top: Two-piece carved maple cap with multi-ply binding<\/li>\n<li>Body style: Single-cutaway Les Paul, solid body (no chambering or modern weight relief on Custom Shop LPCs of this era)<\/li>\n<li>Body binding: Multi-ply (front and back) in traditional Les Paul Custom style<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Neck<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Neck construction: One-piece mahogany, set neck<\/li>\n<li>Neck joint: Long-tenon set neck, as on most Custom Shop Les Paul Customs<\/li>\n<li>Scale length: 24.75&#8243; \/ 628 mm<\/li>\n<li>Neck profile: Rounded medium C (similar to later \u201cModern\/50s C\u201d Custom specs), approx. .83&#8243; at 1st fret and .98&#8243; at 12th fret on documented 2011 examples<\/li>\n<li>Truss rod: Adjustable, access at headstock<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Fingerboard<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fingerboard material: Ebony (standard spec for 2011 Custom Shop Les Paul Customs; Richlite becomes common from 2012)<\/li>\n<li>Radius: 12&#8243; \/ 304.8 mm<\/li>\n<li>Fret count: 22<\/li>\n<li>Fret type: Medium-jumbo<\/li>\n<li>Inlays: Mother of pearl block inlays<\/li>\n<li>Binding: Single-ply cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Electronics<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pickup configuration: HH<\/li>\n<li>Neck pickup: Gibson 490R humbucker<\/li>\n<li>Bridge pickup: Gibson 498T humbucker<\/li>\n<li>Magnet types: 490R Alnico II, 498T Alnico V<\/li>\n<li>Controls: 2 volume, 2 tone (individual per pickup)<\/li>\n<li>Pot values: 500k audio-taper CTS pots (Custom Shop standard)<\/li>\n<li>Switch: 3-way Switchcraft toggle (treble \/ both \/ rhythm)<\/li>\n<li>Output jack: Switchcraft 1\/4&#8243; mono<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Hardware<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bridge: Tune-O-Matic (Nashville-style)<\/li>\n<li>Tailpiece: Stopbar<\/li>\n<li>Tuners: Grover-style or keystone tuners, gold plated, depending on specific 2011 run<\/li>\n<li>Pickguard: Black multi-ply Les Paul Custom style<\/li>\n<li>Hardware finish: Gold plating<\/li>\n<li>Finish &amp; aesthetics<\/li>\n<li>Colour: Ebony (black) gloss nitrocellulose lacquer<\/li>\n<li>Top binding: Multi-ply<\/li>\n<li>Back binding: Multi-ply<\/li>\n<li>Headstock: Bound, with split-diamond mother of pearl inlay and \u201cLes Paul Custom\u201d truss rod cover<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dimensions &amp; weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nut material: Corian<\/li>\n<li>Nut width: Approx. 42.8 mm \/ 1.69&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>End-of-board width: Approx. 56.9 mm \/ 2.24&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>Measured weight (this guitar): Weight is 4600g (approx. 10.1 lb)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Case<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Case: Gibson USA hard case, good condition, likely non-original to a Custom Shop model, no COA or other case candy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2011 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom in Ebony is the modern version of the classic \u201ctuxedo\u201d Les Paul that first appeared in the mid-1950s, with fancy multi-ply binding, split-diamond headstock inlay and gold hardware.
