Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s, Buttercream Overview
First introduced in 1953, the Custom was the result of Les Paul's own suggestion: a sleek, black guitar with the elegance and class of a tuxedo. With a solid mahogany body and a three-piece maple top, it's got the perfect mix of warmth and bite, delivering that unmistakable Les Paul punch and sustain. From the very first chord, this guitar feels like it's built for serious players who want tone, looks and rock-solid reliability. This elegant Buttercream finish replicates the look of the legendary Arctic White colour, which gracefully aged into a delicate yellow.
Every detail has been recreated, from the multi-ply binding and Split Diamond headstock inlay to the gleaming gold hardware and 70s-era Witch Hat knobs. A pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, provide authentic vintage tone that cuts through the mix. Add Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Posi-Lok straplocks, and you've got a guitar that offers the reliability a gigging musician needs. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer and complete with a hardshell case, the Les Paul Custom 70s is every bit the stage-ready classic it deserves to be.

View Full DescriptionClassic 70s build
The Gibson Les Paul Custom 70s captures the essence of a golden era in guitar making. Built with a mahogany body paired with a three-piece maple top, it delivers the warmth and sustain players expect from a Les Paul, balanced with the extra clarity and bite that defined the 70s models. This combination of tonewoods ensures a sound that’s powerful, rich, and unmistakably vintage-inspired, making it perfect for everything from soaring leads to chunky rhythm work.
Playability and feel
With a 70s-profile maple neck complete with a volute, this guitar is designed for stability and comfort. The bound ebony fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets feels smooth under the fingers, giving players effortless playability across the neck. The attention to detail in the neck profile means it’s substantial enough for players who like a solid grip, yet refined enough to allow for fast runs and intricate chord shapes without slowing you down.
Vintage-correct electronics
At the heart of the Les Paul Custom 70s are a pair of Calibrated T-Type humbuckers, voiced to recreate the era-accurate tone of the originals. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, these pickups offer dynamic response and clarity, from warm cleans to aggressive overdrive. Combined with the familiar two-volume, two-tone control layout, players get access to a wide tonal palette that’s both versatile and faithful to the 70s sound.
Attention to detail
Every aspect of this guitar has been carefully recreated to honour its vintage heritage. From the 5-ply body binding and mother-of-pearl Split Diamond headstock inlay to the gold hardware and 70s-style Witch Hat knobs, it exudes class and authenticity. Add in Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, and Posi-Lok straplocks, and you have a guitar that looks as incredible as the originals that inspired it, and is built to perform. Supplied with a hardshell case, the Les Paul Custom 70s is ready to hit the stage and deliver night after night.
