Taking this look to its extreme, the Gibson USA Les Paul Supreme marries a carved Grade-AAAA figured top and back to the classic Les Paul design, for a guitar of unprecedented beauty. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis model bears all the hallmarks of an ornate custom-made instrument, with seven-ply top binding, three-ply back binding, a bound fingerboard with mother-of-pearl split-block inlays, a showpiece headstock trimmed in five-ply binding with deluxe mother of pearl globe inlay and \"Supreme\" banner, MOP Gibson logo, an engraved brass truss-rod cover, gold hardware, and even gold-tinted frets. With gorgeous flamed maple on both sides of a chambered mahogany body core, the Les Paul Supreme is nothing short of stunning, and your choice of translucent high-gloss Heritage Cherry Burst or Desert Burst finish shows off this exalted wood with real class. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore than just an incredible looker, however, the Les Paul Supreme is also a powerful tone machine. A pair of Gibson's most popular humbucking pickups with genuine Alnico magnets yield a wide array of voices, from sultry to scorching, while traditional Gibson constructional details such as a 17-degree back-angled headstock, a PLEK-cut Corian nut, and rock-solid Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece pairing team up to provide unparalleled sustain and resonance.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeatures -\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTop                              AAAA Figured Maple\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBack                            AAAA Figured Maple\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBinding                        3-Ply White\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBody Type                   Chambered\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdhesive                      Franklin Titebond 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecies                        Mahogany\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProfile                          Rounded Neck Profile\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTruss Rod                    Traditional Adjustable\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoint Angle                   5° (+\/- 15 seconds)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAdhesive                      Franklin Titebond 50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNeck Fit -\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoint                             Mortise \u0026amp;

The 490 and 498 pickups are Gibson’s most popular modern pickups, and for good reason. Thick, complex harmonics at every volume setting. Plus plenty of cut and thrust when driven into crunch mode, and sustain to burn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is in very good condition with some evidence of use, including some small dings and dents and a little buckle rash on the back which can hardly be seen. There is some natural tarnishing of the gold hardware which is part of the story of a 20 year old instrument. But overall presentation is impressive. Plenty of fret life left, and everything works as it should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a fabulous piece of craftsmanship from Gibson, in our opinion easily matching many Custom Shop Les Pauls we have seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eComes in its original Gibson hard case in excellent condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839002075455,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G49989563","price":2997.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Gibson_Les_Paul_Supreme_-_USA_2003.jpg?v=1782094941","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/gibson-les-paul-supreme-usa-2003","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
