Pre-Owned 2025 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Axcess - Bengal Tiger Burst With OHSC

We've had a ton of Les Pauls here over the years, from a starter Epiphone model to an actual 1959 burst.  To say it takes a lot for us to really stop us in our tracks could be an understatement.  It's not a boast, it's just that we've seen a ton of amazing versions.  But then sometimes one really does stand out, and that's what we have here with this Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Axcess Custom Figured Top in Bengal Burst.

 

This is a reimagining of an iconic guitar with ultra-modern ergonomics.  Built by the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, it blends a classic model with stunning aesthetics and modern high-performance playability. This particular one was built in 2025, barely played, and is in excellent condition.  It's a serious score for anyone looking for a lightweight, easy to play Les Paul that is beyond beautiful.

The design of the Les Paul Axcess is intentionally aimed at making the player rethink things a bit.  Instead of heavy, you get a light guitar (this one is 7.3 lbs).  This is due to it being a slightly thinner body, and its weight relieved on the inside.  That, along with the back contour and the sculpted neck heel, makes this a supremely comfortable Les Paul.  The same goes for the neck - it has a Slim C neck profile, with a 12" radius on the ebony fretboard that has 22 medium jumbo frets.  So, you'll be able to bend to your heart's content without the fear of fretting out.  Once you pick this guitar up, you won't want to put it down.

 

Of course, it's not just about looks, feel and specs, it's about sound - and this one sounds amazing, thanks to Gibson 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge) humbuckers.  These are high output pickups, as this Les Paul is meant to push the amp hard and cut through the mix.  But, they never sound shrill.  Just the classic warmth of Gibson humbuckers, with extra power to make it really stand out.  The really nice thing is that you can roll the volume back and hear how they clean up nicely.  Plus, the push-pull coil splitting functionality adds another dimension.  The end result is a very versatile guitar.

 

Other features include gold hardware, Grover kidney tuners and mother of pearl block inlays.  The original hardshell case is included, as well as the Certificate of Authenticity.

 

This Custom Shop Les Paul Axcess Custom is a striking guitar, and one you don't see very often.  It's super clean, in excellent condition.  Setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop, it's ready for its next home.

 

Key Features:

• Contoured Axcess Heel: Features a smoothly sculpted neck heel and transition joint that removes the traditional chunky Les Paul heel block, allowing unhindered access to the highest frets.
