The Gibson Les Paul supported by the standard five colored frets, a strum bar, a whammy bar, a tilt sensor, and start/select buttons.
All Les Pauls feature a detachable neck for easier transportation and a removable face plate guitar customization. The start/select buttons on this model were set into the guitar, making it harder to accidentally hit these buttons while playing.
Additionally, each version of the Les Paul includes special features for each console. For the 360, it features a D-Pad for navigation and a 360 button. For the PS3, it has a D-Pad and a PS3 button. For the Wii, one actually inserts a Wii Remote into the guitar, which provides many features such as vibration, noises from the guitar, and all the navigation buttons.
The Les Paul connects differently to each console. For the 360, it connects wirelessly. For the PS3, it is wireless but a separate dongle must be attached to the PS3. For the Wii, it uses the Wii Remote to connect to the console.
“Here is the ultimate in a solid body guitar … The Incomparable Les Paul Custom Guitar,” — Gibson catalog, circa mid-1950s
Today’s Les Paul Custom is based on the model from the mid-1950s, but with several modern appointments. The body is crafted with a hand-carved maple top, which is fitted to a body made from a solid piece of mahogany with strategically routed holes to lessen the weight of the guitar, resulting in a Les Paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is also made from one solid piece of mahogany then topped by a 22-fret Richlite® fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays and given Gibson’s traditional rounded profile. The pickups are Gibson’s 490R in the neck position, which offers the tonal characteristics of the original PAFs, and the 498T in the bridge position, which swaps the 490R’s Alnico II magnet for an Alnico V, thus making it slightly hotter with emphasis on mid-ranges and highs. Other appointments include Gibson’s legendary Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, metal tulip tuners, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware and a 1 11/16” nut width. The Les Paul Custom is available in Antique White, Ebony, Heritage Cherry Sun Burst, Wine Red and Silver Burst, and each guitar comes with the standard Gibson Custom case and certificate of authenticity.
