Up for sale is a 2014 Gibson Custom Shop Long Scale Les Paul, a unique and somewhat under-the-radar Custom Shop model that blends classic Les Paul tone with a slightly different feel thanks to the extended 25.5" scale design. If you’re looking for something that retains vintage DNA but feels a little more articulate and responsive, this is a seriously cool example.
Specs & Highlights
Overall, the guitar is in very good condition and has clearly been well cared for.
The guitar does not have fret nibs. Based on my research and manufacturer information, Gibson did not use fret nibs on this model/year, so this may be original. That said, I cannot definitively confirm whether it has been refretted. What I can confirm is that the frets are in fantastic playing condition.
Electronics / Pots
The guitar currently has replacement pots installed. These are slightly longer than standard Gibson pots (originally used to accommodate “Speed Knobs”), so with traditional knobs installed the knobs sit slightly off the body. This is purely cosmetic and could be easily corrected by any competent tech if desired.
Tone & Playability
The Custombuckers in this guitar sound fantastic, delivering classic PAF-style clarity with great dynamics and articulation. Combined with the long-scale feel, it has a tight low end, great note separation, and a lively response that stands out from typical Les Pauls.
$4000 Shipped CONUS via PP, Venmo, or Zelle
