Weight-relieved comfort
The Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Custom Figured Top features a weight-relieved mahogany body, carefully designed for maximum comfort without sacrificing tone. This lighter construction lets you play for extended periods without experiencing fatigue, a significant improvement over traditional solid Les Paul models. The ribcage contour further enhances the ergonomic design, letting the guitar sit naturally against your body. With its slightly thinner body, this instrument retains the tonal depth and resonance of a classic Les Paul while feeling refreshingly light and balanced in your hands.
Unrestricted playability
The Les Paul Axcess redefines playability with its innovative heel-less neck joint, providing seamless access to the upper frets. Navigating intricate solos or reaching for the highest notes has never felt smoother - the expertly contoured neck heel ensures effortless movement. The slim C neck profile provides an exceedingly high level of comfort that'll be well received in any genre of music, offering a perfect blend of speed and control. These features make this guitar an ideal choice if you're seeking fluid and expressive playing, without the limitations of traditional designs.
Versatile tonal range
Equipped with Gibson's 490R and 498T humbuckers, the Les Paul Axcess delivers a universe of tonal possibilities. These pickups offer the iconic Les Paul warmth and power, ideal for genres ranging from blues to hard rock. The push-pull coil--splitting functionality adds even more versatility, enabling crisp single-coil tones for clean passages or sparkly rhythm sections. With a simple adjustment of the volume and tone knobs, this guitar adapts effortlessly to your playing style, ensuring a sound that's as dynamic, expressive and brimming with creative potential.
Elegant yet robust design
The Bengal Burst finish on the Les Paul Axcess highlights its exquisite figured maple top, making it a true visual masterpiece. Beyond its stunning appearance, this guitar is built for durability and reliability.
