Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom w/ Ebony Fingerboard Gloss Alpine White w/case CS600898

Serial: CS600898
Weight: 9 lbs 7.4 oz

The Gibson Custom Les Paul Custom has long carried the nickname “The Black Beauty,” but in Alpine White it becomes something even more striking—a full tuxedo finish with unmistakable stage presence and classic Custom Shop authority. This gloss Alpine White example delivers everything players expect from a proper Les Paul Custom: massive sustain, rich harmonic content, elegant appointments, and the unmistakable feel of Gibson’s flagship solidbody platform.

Built with a solid mahogany body and maple top, the Les Paul Custom offers a slightly more immediate attack and tighter low end than a Standard, while retaining the warmth and weight that define the model. The solid ebony fingerboard adds snap, clarity, and a faster playing surface under the hands, making this a favorite for players who want both visual elegance and precision. The long neck tenon construction enhances sustain and resonance, while the 490R and 498T humbucker pairing delivers everything from articulate clean tones to aggressive high-gain authority. Gibson highlights the gloss Alpine White finish, ebony fingerboard, and classic Custom appointments as the defining elements of this model, along with the powerful 490R/498T pickup set and gold hardware.

At 9 lbs 7.4 oz, this example has the substantial feel players often want from a Les Paul Custom—strong fundamental tone, piano-like low end, and the kind of sustain that makes notes feel effortless.
