Check out the video. Less than 10 made and these never show up for sale, so this is special. Please feel free to ask any questions or request additional photos. This beauty is mint. Much more so than the example in the video. I can’t find any indentions. She looks even better in person and her tone in amazing. This was a very small run from Sweetwater and only available in three colors. This, of course, is the best and looks the best with the wood combination. Check out the back and neck. Simple stunning all around.

Sweetwater-specified combination of tonewoods
The Gibson Custom Sweetwater Les Paul Modern Custom combines the a mahogany back with a hand-selected maple top to give you fat sustain with a punchy top end. The 5-piece flame maple/walnut neck topped with a rosewood fretboard offers smooth playability and great looks. It’s a perfect recipe for those big tones.
Classic PAF sound with a pair of Custombuckers
Gibson Custom analyzed the sound of the original PAF humbucking pickups and re-created that vibe with a pair of Custombucker humbuckers. These pickups use period-correct wire and a precise number of turns to create the tone we all know and love. You’ll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you’ll get out of the Custombucker pickups – it’s everything you expect when you pick up a Les Paul! But there’s more! The volume and tone knobs feature a push-pull configuration that allows you to choose between classic humbuckers and single coils. You can also run both pickups alongside each other in or out of phase for a diverse tonal palette. We know tone at Sweetwater, and these pickups deliver the vintage goodness you want!
Gibson Custom quality
Gibson’s Custom Shop took extra care with every detail of the Sweetwater Les Paul Modern Custom guitar. Every Gibson Custom guitar receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimizes the fretboard and results in incredibly accurate intonation. And little touches, like the narrower ABR-1 bridge and nickel hardware, make this guitar even more distinctive among other Les Paul Customs.
