The Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Les Paul Axcess Standard Tri Berry Burst Floyd Rose Gloss represents a bold fusion of timeless Les Paul heritage and modern performance innovation. Crafted as part of the Custom Shop’s celebrated Greatest Hits Volume II collection, this model elevates the traditional Les Paul platform with high-performance features designed for today’s demanding players—all while maintaining the unmistakable look and feel of a Gibson classic. Dressed in a vibrant Tri-Berry Burst gloss nitrocellulose finish, it delivers striking visual depth that highlights the natural beauty of its premium tonewoods.

Built with a solid mahogany body and capped with a handpicked AAA flame maple top, this Axcess Standard offers the tonal richness and sustain players expect from a Les Paul. The mahogany provides warmth and midrange authority, while the figured maple top enhances clarity, articulation, and snap. The gloss nitrocellulose finish not only enhances resonance but also allows the guitar to age gracefully, developing character over time. The result is a visually stunning instrument with tonal depth and dynamic response.

The mahogany neck features a fast and comfortable LP Axcess Custom profile, engineered for effortless playability across all 22 frets. Its set-neck construction and standard 24.75" scale length preserve the legendary sustain and feel that define the Les Paul experience. A rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius offers a smooth, responsive surface ideal for expressive bends and fluid lead work, while cellulose trapezoid inlays maintain classic Gibson aesthetics. With a 1.687" nut width and Floyd Rose R3 locking nut, the instrument ensures stable string spacing and exceptional tuning reliability, even under aggressive playing conditions.

At the heart of its modern performance capability is the Floyd Rose tremolo system, allowing for dramatic dive bombs, subtle vibrato, and precise pitch manipulation without sacrificing tuning stability. Grover Kidney tuners complement the locking system, providing smooth and dependable adjustments. This combination transforms the traditional Les Paul design into a stage-ready powerhouse built for versatility and precision.

Electronics are voiced for commanding tone and high-output performance. The Gibson 496R humbucker in the neck position delivers warm, articulate tones with enhanced sustain, ideal for soaring leads and full-bodied rhythm textures. In the bridge position, the Gibson 498T humbucker offers aggressive midrange punch and cutting highs, perfectly suited for high-gain riffs and powerful solos. Dual volume and dual tone controls provide detailed tonal shaping, while the 3-way toggle pickup selector ensures seamless transitions between pickup configurations. Strung with Gibson .010–.046 strings, the guitar arrives ready for balanced tension and expressive response.

Housed in a Custom Shop hardshell case and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity booklet, this instrument stands as both a professional performance tool and a collectible work of craftsmanship. The Gibson Custom Shop Greatest Hits Volume II Les Paul Axcess Standard Tri Berry Burst Floyd Rose Gloss is a refined evolution of a legendary design—where vintage soul meets modern precision.
