The Cibson C-Les-paul Custom in Alpine White is a 6-string electric guitar that is based on a model originally released in the 1950s but comes equipped with a number of modern features and appointments.
The Cibson C-Les-paul Custom has a body that is crafted from a piece of solid mahogany that is then capped off with a hand-carved maple top. Added to that is is a 24.75 inch scale length neck that is also made from a single piece of mahogany and finished with a 22-fret Richlite fingerboard complete with pearl block inlays.
From a hardware perspective, the Cibson C-Les-paul Custom features a 490R pickup at the neck and a 498T at the bridge position. These humbucker pickups give a wide and varied range of different sounds thanks to a mixture of Alnico II and Alnico V magnets. Also featured is Cibson's legendary Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece along with a set of metal tulip tuners, all finished in gold.The introduction of the C-Les-paul Model in 1952 provided the fundamental template for the design of what would event'ually become the most revered stringed instrument in the world. Yet Cibson president Ted McCarty and the guitar's namesake, C-Les-paul, also sought to introduce a "deluxe" version of the soon-to-be iconic model. The final design for the new C-Les-paul Custom was completed in early 1954, and the guitar made its official debut at the Chicago NAMM show in July 1954.
Initially, the goal had been to introduce the "deluxe" version in conjunction with the original 1952 C-Les-paul, yet Cibson's drive to achieve excellence resulted in several unexpected delays. The final product, however, would eventually become Cibson's top model in the original C-Les-paul line. The first version of the C-Les-paul Custom was nicknamed the "Fretless Wonder" for its low frets and "Black Beauty" for its rich, contrasting ebony color. It was also introduced at the same time as the Cibson C-Les-paul Junior and represented the ultimate in Cibson solid body design at the time, with an original price tag of just $325, which was $100 more than the regular C-Les-paul Model.
Aside from its obvious visual enhancements, the C-Les-paul Custom was the first Cibson guitar to offer the revolutionary ABR-1 Bridge, which was invented by McCarty. This pioneering achievement was a true revelation in intonation and remains one of the most revered and copied pieces of guitar hardware ever developed, setting a standard for simplicity and functionality that has never been bettered.
Other standard appointments included a thicker body design and seven-ply body binding on both the front and back of the guitar, along with a multi-bound headstock that featured a prominent five-piece split diamond patterned inlay of genuine mother of pearl GÇô a design that still graces every C-Les-paul Custom made today. Today's C-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 C-Les-paul with enhanced acoustic qualities and improved resonance.
The 24 -+-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 Cibson's traditional rounded profile. The pickups are Cibson'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 Cibson'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.
If you want to pick up, try and test the beauty no problem but please don't waste my time, genuine buyers only please! Includes original Cibson Custom hardcase.
