Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body, Maple Top, Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard, and 2 Humbucking Pickups - Ebony
As part of Gibson’s 50th anniversary celebration of its Nashville facility, the ’70s Les Paul Custom has been reimagined for modern players while honoring its storied past. This model combines the “best of” features from a highly experimental yet iconic era, featuring a solid mahogany body with a 3-piece maple cap, 5-ply binding, and a maple neck with headstock volute. Additional period-correct details include a thin, breathable nitro finish, diamond-shaped Posi-lock strap buttons, witch hat control knobs, a Nashville bridge, and calibrated, era-specific T-type pickups. Legendary guitarists such as Al Di Meola, Ace Frehley, Adam Jones, Randy Rhoads, John Sykes, and Frank Zappa are synonymous with the ’70s Les Paul Custom. Now available at Sadek Music, this guitar pays tribute to those icons while giving you the freedom to carve your own sonic legacy.
The best of the Norlin era
Though typically thought of as a contentious and experimental time in Gibson's history, the core fundamentals of the ’70s Les Paul Custom are sure to win favor from even the most vintage loyalists. To start, a 3-piece maple top joins a solid mahogany body to provide a rich tonal foundation full of sustain. True to late Norlin-era specs, a maple neck adds a crisp and snappy definition with a comfortable ’70s profile neck. No Les Paul from this time period would be complete without an added volute carve near the back of the headstock — a crucial point facet preserving neck stability. All of these combined tonewood elements project a sonic presence that is unmistakably a Les Paul Custom.
Equipped for Maximum Performance
Beneath the classic ’70s Les Paul Custom aesthetic lies a host of performance and quality upgrades, making this guitar gig-ready straight out of the case. The 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard maintains Gibson’s signature smooth playability, while taller, longer-lasting medium-jumbo frets let you execute big, expressive bends with ease. String resonance and tuning stability are enhanced by a larger Nashville bridge, Grover tuners, and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, ensuring precise, snag-free tuning and effortless setup. Available now at Sadek Music, the ’70s Les Paul Custom is built for players who demand both iconic tone and modern reliability.
Throwback T-style pickups project vintage power
As if Sadek Music 6-string virtuosos and Gibson fanatics aren’t excited enough about the ’70s Les Paul Custom, let’s not forget the matched T-style pickup set. The T-style set, also created using period-correct specs and materials, offers PAF-style response with greater note separation. Emphasis on a brighter, more immediate attack comes courtesy of their Alnico V magnets. Furthermore, the dynamic and open voice of the T-style set allows for extreme versatility depending on your guitar and amp settings. In particular, the neck pickup warms up beautifully while still possessing a top-end chime to cut through your mix without sounding brittle.
