Similarity

Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Gibson Les Paul Classic 3-Pickup is a limited-edition variant of the Les Paul Custom featuring a triple-humbucker configuration (496R/496R/500T), adding a middle pickup position not found on the standard two-pickup Les Paul. Built with the classic Les Paul carved maple top, mahogany body, and a fast 1960 Slim Taper neck profile, it gives players access to an additional tonal sweet spot between the traditional neck and bridge voicings.

The Gibson Les Paul Custom is a premium electric guitar delivering classic thick tone with excellent sustain. Its dual humbucker pickups and solid mahogany body provide warm, powerful tone. The Les Paul Custom appeals to professional players.
