The Gibson Modern Les Paul Axcess Custom Rhino Gray Gloss Limited Edition from the Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee is a modern interpretation of the legendary Singlecut design and convinces with a mercilessly good playing comfort. The classic mahogany body has comfortable contours, while the mahogany neck with "Slim C" profile and contoured neck foot can be played unhindered in all positions. The Gibson 496R and 498T humbuckers also provide modern sounds.
The Gibson Modern Les Paul Axcess Custom convinces with its first-class playing comfort, which brings the classic Singlecut design into one dimension. The mahogany body not only has a slimmer frame width, but also nestles to the player thanks to the "Comfort-Carve Belly Scarf" on the back. The weight relief also makes this Les Paul surprisingly light so that nothing stands in the way of long gigs. The fast "Slim C" profile and the flowing "Contoured Axcess Heel" at the neck foot ensure unhindered playability across all layers of the Richlite fingerboard. Another special feature is the reinforced "Apex" headstock with a particularly stable transition between neck and headstock.
The Gibson Modern Les Paul Axcess Custom Rhino Gray Gloss Limited Edition also offers a versatile sound that feels at home in almost any musical genre. A Gibson 498T humbucker sits on the bridge, a hot Alnico V aggregate that delivers a fat, midrange sound for burning rock riffs and hot solo licks. The Gibson 496R neck humbucker with ceramic magnets delivers a warm, yet assertive and defined sound with endless sustain. Push/pull switches in the Tone controls can be used to split both pickups, so that authentic single coil sounds are also part of the Gibson Les Paul Modern Custom Axcess repertoire.
Traditionally, the Gibson Modern Les Paul Custom Axcess Rhino Gray Gloss is a good choice when it comes to hardware. The body is fitted with the combination of a Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and the classic Stopbar tailpiece, established by Ted McCarty in the 1950s, which guarantees perfect intonation of all strings and a flat, smooth-running string position. From here, the strings are guided towards the headstock with the traditional 24.75" scale, where Grover tuners behind a Corian saddle provide a precise and stable tuning.
