The Gibson Custom Shop Dealer Select Les Paul Custom in Gloss Purple Sparkle is a stunning fusion of timeless elegance, commanding tone, and unmistakable stage presence. Draped in a dazzling nitrocellulose gloss finish, the Purple Sparkle top radiates luxury and attitude in equal measure, transforming one of the most iconic guitar designs ever created into a true showpiece. From its shimmering finish to its refined Custom appointments, this instrument captures the spirit of classic Gibson craftsmanship while delivering the power and authority modern players demand.
Built with a 2-piece plain maple top over a solid 1-piece mahogany back, this Les Paul Custom delivers the legendary tonal foundation that has defined generations of music. Rich sustain, thick harmonic content, and effortless resonance pour from every note, while the solid mahogany neck and long tenon construction provide exceptional stability and enhanced tonal transfer. The ebony fingerboard adds a crisp, articulate edge to the guitar’s voice and offers a smooth, luxurious playing surface that feels fast and precise under the fingers.
Designed for professional performance at every level, the neck features a comfortable 24.75" scale length, medium-jumbo frets, and a 12" radius that allows bends to glide effortlessly while maintaining outstanding clarity across the fretboard. Mother of Pearl block inlays and multi-ply binding elevate the visual sophistication, giving the instrument the unmistakable elegance that defines the Les Paul Custom legacy.
Tonally, the 490R neck humbucker and 498T bridge humbucker create a powerful and versatile pairing. The neck pickup produces warm, singing tones with exceptional depth and clarity, while the bridge pickup delivers aggressive punch, tight low end, and cutting harmonic bite perfect for soaring leads and heavy rhythm work. The hand-wired harness featuring CTS pots and Switchcraft electronics ensures smooth response, dynamic control, and pure signal integrity throughout every setting.
Every detail has been meticulously chosen to complement both form and function. Chrome hardware shines brilliantly against the Purple Sparkle finish, while the Grover Kidney tuners, Tune-O-Matic bridge, and stop bar tailpiece provide rock-solid tuning stability and classic Gibson sustain. At 9 lbs 3 oz, this Les Paul Custom carries the reassuring heft and resonance players expect from a true Custom Shop masterpiece.
Complete with a Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity booklet, this Dealer Select Les Paul Custom is far more than a guitar. It is a statement piece, a professional-grade instrument, and a celebration of Gibson’s most luxurious design language. Bold, elegant, and sonically commanding, the Gloss Purple Sparkle finish ensures this Les Paul Custom will never blend into the background.
