Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Std Gun Metal Gray Electric Guitar
Price per Unit (piece):
$3,499.00
Carrying all the elegant styling, fluid body lines, and rocking
attitude of a classic Les Paul Standard from the golden era of 1958 to
'60, the Les Paul Axcess reveals a handful of upgrades upon closer
examination — all modifications made in the name of maximum playability
and versatility. The most noticeable addition is the Floyd Rose
tailpiece, a unit optimized for anything from subtle vibrato wobbles to
dramatic, rumbling divebombs. Partnered with an R4 locking nut, it also
guarantees outstanding tuning stability and return-to-pitch accuracy.
While
the Axcess sports what looks from the front to be a traditional Les
Paul neck joint, the neck heel and portions of the back and neck joint
at the upper cutaway have been contoured to provide a "heelless" feel
and an unimpeded reach right up to the 22nd fret. No more stretching
against the traditional neck heel to achieve the upper-fret access that
your lead style demands — the Axcess gives you that legendary Les Paul
playability all the way up the neck, and welcomes you to take it right
over the top.
To further enhance playing comfort, this smoothly
carved neck joint is joined by a "belly scarf" (a.k.a. ribcage contour)
that allows the body of the guitar to hug closely to your own body in
the playing position without digging in. Add to these contours the Les
Paul Axcess's slightly thinner body, made from weight-relieved mahogany
(with carved maple top), and you've also got an instrument that is
refreshingly light, and a pure joy to play either strapped on or seated.
Beyond
all these significant considerations for playing feel, the Les Paul
Axcess Standard is also geared toward optimum tone, as you'd expect
from any Custom Shop creation. Exposed-coil BurstBucker 1 and
BurstBucker 2 pickups in the neck and bridge positions — the most
accurate reproduction vintage-PAF-style humbuckers Gibson has ever
offered ‐ yield everything from warm, fluid vocal tones to
fat, sweet growl, while an added push/pull switch on the treble Tone
knob provides coil splitting for accurate single-coil tones. The
combination excels at everything from singing classic rock lead tones,
to contemporary crunch, to extremes of twang and jangle. Even the
pure-nickel wound .010 Gibson Vintage Strings it ships with contribute
toward its rich, textured voice.
Being a product of the Gibson
Custom Shop, the Les Paul Axcess is built to the highest standards
attainable in today's market, which includes a final set-up and fret
dressing by the computer-controlled PLEK System. Each instrument also
comes with a Custom Shop hardshell case and a Certificate of
Authenticity.
