Gibson Custom Shop 1974 Les Paul Custom Historic Reissue

The 1970’s specification Les Paul Custom guitars from Gibson represent a unique stop along the road of the company’s post 1950’s history. As a manufacturing changed to value efficiency, some of the craft and skill of previous generations of Gibson found themselves in unfamiliar territory, trying to balance an unshakable dedication to quality with a world moving at a pace that barely allowed it. Through all of those challenges, key models of Gibson were adapted to include new processes, materials and construction philosophies. While not all Gibson guitars emerged with the same level of prestige as generations past, there were some that managed to cement a solid reputation among players. Among those, the 1974 Les Paul Custom, which was built on the now legendary “sandwich” body, found its way into the hands of several key artists of the 1970’s and 80’s, carving out a consistent place as one of Gibson’s post-50’s icons. Now considered a bonafide vintage find amongst collectors, the 1974 Les Paul us re-introduced for 2015.

Unlike the era it came from, today’s 1974 Les Paul Custom receives the benefit of Gibson Custom’s modern era craftsmanship and materials quality, which means consistency, reliability and overall quality not matched by any other guitar maker.

To retain the original’s overall tone and feel, the key factors to its success, Gibson Custom constructs the ’74 Custom’s body in multiple layers of maple and mahogany, a composition now referred to as the “sandwich” body. Like the original, today’s ’74 Custom also features a 3 piece maple top, Super ’74 pickups in the neck and bridge and Black Cat capacitors, all ingredients to the original ‘74’s tone.

To make it a can’t miss comeback, the Gibson Custom Historic 1974 Les Paul Custom incorporates several features borrowed from the True Historic range including double carved and hand-sanded neck and top, wet-sanded finish, rolled fingerboard binding, True Historic pickup covers and long neck tenon to name just a few.

Gibson Custom Shop L-9

A Les Paul Inspired Archtop with a Mind of Its Own

At first glance, the familiarity of the Gibson Custom L9 might easily look like a simple nod to the burning legacy of its solid body cousin the Les Paul. But take a deeper look, and a deeper listen, and you’ll find a breakthrough in tone and playability never before found on a meticulously hand crafted arch top guitar. Yes, its Les Paul inspired beauty is undeniable, but a Gibson Arch Top lives within the expectations of the finest carved top guitars in the world. There’s no room for simply being clever with looks. Underneath all that gorgeous “Gibsonness” is a guitar rich in tone and playability.

Beginning with a newly designed inner top carve, the L9 takes advantage of two ’57 classic pickups with a brilliantly wide tonal palette. For starters, by designing just enough of “the right” mass around the pickups the L9 minimize feedback. Rather than stop there, Gibson’s craftspeople have also used their expertise in tuning carved tops to dial in a range of tones that span from classic jazz to thick, punchy rock. As part of the development of the L9, Gibson found that its Bumble capacitor set, CTA pots and hand-wired harness made the perfect complement to its size and acoustic personality, so the familiar Gibson vintage tone jumps forward when called upon, while still yielding the necessary delicateness when asked to deliver a more subdued range from muted to cutting jazz and classic rock tones.

To keep the L9 light, a Gibson Custom Lightweight Aluminum tailpiece headlines a purely vintage set of Gibson appointments, all coming together for a presentation that sets it apart. So, while you might love to look at the L9, you won’t want to miss the chance to take a listen. Its beauty is just the beginning.
