2014 Gibson Brands Les Paul Custom Lite Ebony Black, Excellent, Original Hard, $1,599.99

Offered for sale;

Used 2014 Gibson Les Paul Lite serial number 140102850.

This guitar is in excellent condition, neck and frets are fine, cosmetically clean.

The Les Paul Custom has always been a supremely elegant instrument, a “black tie” guitar for the formal crowd, as Les originally conceived it. Les Paul Customs have come off the line over the years considerably heavier than the typical Les Paul Standard. The Les Paul Custom Lite, redresses that disparity: made with a considerably thinner and contoured body with traditional weight relief, it lightens the instrument yet retains the elegant appearance and tone of the Custom.

Featuring a carved maple top and genuine mahogany body, the latter treated with Gibson’s traditional weight relief to reduce the load and enhance resonance. The quarter-sawn mahogany neck is carved to a rounded ’50s profile and topped with a Grade-A, rosewood fingerboard with single-ply binding and classic acrylic block inlays. The body and headstock are trimmed in multi-ply binding, and the headstock carries an Acrylic Gibson logo and traditional crown inlay. Dressed entirely in high-gloss Ebony Black, in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer, this is visually a beautiful guitar.

Powering this “Black Beauty” are two of Gibson’s most popular humbucking pickups, plus added single-coil sounds thanks to the coil-splitting mini-toggle switch added in place of the second tone control. The 490R in the neck position is made with a genuine Alnico II magnet and wound with 42 AWG wire in the image of the original PAF humbuckers, for plenty of depth and warmth with impressive articulation. The 498T in the bridge position has an Alnico V magnet and extra turns of coil wire for added punch.

Tune-o-matic Bridge and stopbar tailpiece, Grover keystone tuners and all gold hardware complete the package.

The Gibson LP Custom Lite is everything you'd like in a Black Beauty and Standard combined into one guitar, with a thin body that lessens the weight quite a bit.

Own a comfortable, sleeker Les Paul with all the right tones!

Original hard shell case included.
