The Gibson ’70s Les Paul Custom in Ebony brings one of Gibson’s most iconic designs back to the USA lineup with all the attitude, elegance, and authority that made it legendary. Dressed in its classic Ebony finish and accented with gleaming gold hardware, this is the guitar Les Paul famously described as looking like a tuxedo. From the moment you pick it up, it exudes a sense of prestige, combining timeless visual appeal with the unmistakable presence that has made the Les Paul Custom a staple on stages for generations.

This guitar delivers the rich sustain and powerful voice players expect from a great Les Paul, while its three-piece maple top adds clarity, punch, and articulation to the warmth of the mahogany body. The calibrated T-Type humbuckers capture the spirit of the 1970s originals, offering a balanced blend of smooth lows, focused mids, and crisp highs that excel across everything from classic rock and blues to modern high-gain applications. Chords remain full and detailed, while lead lines sing with authority and sustain that seems to go on forever.

The maple neck features a comfortable ’70s profile that feels substantial without becoming cumbersome, paired with an ebony fretboard that delivers a fast, responsive playing experience. Mother-of-pearl block inlays, the iconic split-diamond headstock, and vintage-inspired appointments complete the package, creating an instrument that feels every bit as special as it looks. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case, the Gibson ’70s Les Paul Custom is a faithful celebration of one of the most sought-after eras in Les Paul history, available now at Haggerty’s Music.
