Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard Electric Guitar - Figured Top Floyd Rose DC Rust

Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard Electric Guitar - Figured Top Floyd Rose DC Rust

Step up to a modern legend with the Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard, a guitar that perfectly fuses the timeless legacy of the Les Paul with cutting-edge performance. Palen Music Center is thrilled to offer this powerhouse instrument in the striking new DC Rust finish. You get the classic warmth and sustain you'd expect from the mahogany body and solid mahogany neck, topped off with the stunning visual appeal of a 2-piece figured maple top. This isn't just about looks, though—the re-engineered contours, including the deep-carved neck joint, give you incredible access to all 22 frets, truly living up to the "Axcess" name.

To match its versatile playability, this Les Paul is loaded with a pair of rock-and-roll workhorses: the Gibson 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) humbuckers. This is a famously hot-rodded pickup combination, but it's been kicked into high gear with push/pull coil-splitting on the tone controls, letting you instantly tap into brighter, single-coil tones for maximum sonic flexibility. It's a true shred machine, complete with a Floyd Rose locking tremolo and locking nut for dive-bombing stability that doesn't compromise the iconic Les Paul sound. While the classic Les Paul is known for players like Jimmy Page and Slash, the Axcess is the choice of modern virtuosos who need that classic tone with an aggressive, performance-ready edge.

This particular instrument, with its special DC Rust stain, stands as a testament to the Gibson Custom Shop's commitment to quality and innovation. It takes the most recorded guitar in history and transforms it into a modern tool for today's player. The result is a guitar that looks vintage-cool but plays like a high-performance custom-shop instrument.
