This brand new Gibson Custom Shop Made-to-Measure Les Paul Custom is a true showpiece, featuring a breathtaking hand-selected 7A Quilted Maple top finished in a stunning DC Rust Gloss. This premium 7A quilt top was personally selected and built as a highly exclusive Made-to-Measure instrument, resulting in a level of figure rarely seen even among Custom Shop guitars.
The rich DC Rust finish highlights every inch of the dramatic quilted maple, while classic Les Paul Custom appointments—including multi-ply binding, ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays, gold hardware, and the iconic split-diamond headstock inlay—deliver the timeless elegance that has defined the Les Paul Custom for decades.
Under the hood, Gibson equipped this build with a 490R neck pickup and 498T bridge pickup, providing everything from warm, singing cleans to aggressive rock tones with exceptional sustain and output. The Modern Medium C neck profile offers outstanding comfort, while the mahogany body keeps the guitar resonant and lively.
This example is a one-of-one Made-to-Measure build, making it an extraordinary opportunity for collectors and players seeking something truly unique.
Factory Cosmetic Note
This guitar arrived with a very small factory cosmetic imperfection consisting of a minor indent near the heel of the neck. The imperfection is difficult to see and is only visible under certain lighting conditions. After reviewing the guitar with Gibson, we were authorized to retain the instrument and offer it at a discount from its original intended selling price of $8899. This is strictly a cosmetic issue and does not affect playability, structural integrity, tone, or warranty coverage in any way.
