Gibson Les Paul Custom Axcess Standard Iced Tea USA 2013 1 of 25 made
In fantastic condition
One of only 25 made
The Les Paul Axcess is definitely a guitar that was built to be played. It sports what looks from the front to be a traditional Les Paul neck joint, yet 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. The enhanced playing comfort from the smoothly carved neck joint is combined with a “belly scarf” (aka ribcage contour) that allows the body of the guitar to hug closely to your own body in any playing position. Add to these contours the Les Paul Axcess’s slightly thinner body, made from weight-relieved mahogany – with a carved maple top and single-ply cream binding on the body top – and you’ve got an instrument that is refreshingly light, and a pure joy to play.
Exposed-coil super hot 496R and 498T pickups in the neck and bridge positions yield numerous tonal opportunities including ultra crunch and driving singing leads, warm and fluid vocal tones, and fat, sweet growls, while an added push/pull switch on both the treble and rhythm Tone knob provides series parallel coil splitting for accurate single-coil tones without the hum and provides numerous tonal combinations.
Finished in a beautiful Iced Tea finish with a flamed maple top.
