Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity and attention to detail.

As the flagship model from Gibson Custom Shop, the Les Paul Custom lives up to the high standards set by its 1950s archetype while evolving to a level of tone and performance more suited to today's musical demands. Beneath the layers of its "tuxedo" appointments lies the crisp, edgy voice of a matched 490/498 humbucker set, a solid Ebony fingerboard, a long neck tenon for maximum sustain and a two-piece maple top over a solid mahogany body which adds the perfect amount of sonic bite to everything from jazz to hard rock. It sounds as good as it looks, and it looks as good as it sounds!

This is the 1987 Custom I had, and lost - but many times better! The perfect Les Paul.

My wife had been trying for years to get one of these locked down for me. But we had some bad luck. Until recently! She was able to purchase one, it was 100% brand new. Still in the shipping box. It was love at first sight. I’m a professional musician, and producer/composer. But I’ve had some health issues. And I haven’t been able to do much work, or play as much as I’d like to. I’m in my very early 30’s, and I’ve been working in the industry since I was a young child. This guitar, had always been just out of reach for me. But I’m slowly learning that life is very short. And when fate drops a Les Paul Custom in your lap, you take it! I am more than happy with this guitar. Beautifully hand crafted, fit and finish is perfect. Setup was perfect straight away. Frets are nice and short, but not too short! It’s truly beautiful. And I feel EXTREMELY privileged to FINALLY own one! I’ve waited a long time. And I have no complaints. The case, is gorgeous! Yellow interior, well padded with the double neck rests. It’s just great. The alnico 4 and 5 490 and 498 pups are just FULL of life. Full of tone. I adjusted the bass end of the neck for a fuller, bluesy sound. Easy peasy ;). Grover tuners are perfect. Binding is gorgeous. The guitar is everything you’d ever want from a custom shop, and more. I hope to be well enough to take it on stage soon. I’ve bonded with it. I bonded instantly with it. The neck is so cool! It starts off a little slimmer until you’re at the 5th to 7th frets. And then you begin to feel the fatter, more 50’s style profile. Chords, leads, scales. It’s great for any style of playing. Volume and tone knobs are FAST. You can roll your volume with your pinky quickly and without resistance. Gibson custom shop did an incredible job. I’m very proud to own this guitar. And again, I cannot wait to be healthy enough to get it up on stage with me someday soon. It’ll be my main studio Gibson from here on out. Highly recommend this batch if you can get your hands on one. Thanks to long and mcquade Dartmouth for being so helpful and accommodating! You guys made myself, and my wife (Also a musician) very happy :). Peace, and love to you and the guys at Gibson.

Without a doubt the holy grail of all Les Paul's. Superior to most every guitar out there. No buzzing, stays in tune, fit and finish perfect. It's just a dream to play and hear. It's a privilege to own a masterpiece of this caliber. The black tuxedo is something to behold.

Closest Store   Saint John, New Brunswick
Two duds in a row. The first one arrived with a large scrape along the neck like they overscraped the paint off the binding. I returned it and ordered another. On the next one, the fret ends were very rough and uneven. Most of the white fret nibs were scuffed black for some reason. I returned it as well. Not what I expected from a custom shop guitar for the price. Pretty disappointing after waiting months for each to arrive.

I have and owned several Les Paul\'s. The Custom is the cream of the crop. Fit and finish is perfect, sound and sustain is unbelievable. Playability is second to none. Sure it\'s expensive but you get what you pay for.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
