Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard Electric Guitar with Stopbar Tailpiece

A Gibson Les Paul for the new millennia upgraded with hotter pickups for even more tonal combinations.




The Gibson Les Paul Axcess Standard electric
guitar carries all the elegant styling, fluid body lines, and rocking
attitude of a classic Les Paul Standard from the golden era of 1958 to
'60. The Les Paul Axcess Standard reveals a handful of upgrades upon
closer examination—all modifications made in the name of maximum
playability and versatility.


While the Axcess electric guitar
sports what looks from the front to be a traditional Gibson Les Paul
neck joint, the neck heel and portions of the back and neck joint at the
upper cutaway have been contoured to provide a "heelless" feel and an
unimpeded reach right up to the 22nd fret. No more stretching against
the traditional neck heel to achieve the upper-fret access that your
lead style demands—the Gibson Les Paul Axcess guitar gives you that
sought-after Les Paul playability all the way up the neck, and welcomes
you to take it right over the top.


To further enhance playing
comfort, the Gibson Les Paul guitar's smoothly carved neck joint is
joined by a "belly scarf" (a.k.a. ribcage contour) that allows the body
of the electric guitar to hug closely to your own body in the playing
position without digging in. Add to these contours the Gibson Les Paul
Axcess guitar's slightly thinner body, made from weight-relieved
mahogany (with carved maple top), and you've also got a Les Paul guitar
that is refreshingly light, and a pure joy to play either strapped on or
seated.


The Gibson Les Paul Axcess Standard guitar now comes
juiced with two super hot Gibson pickups, the 498T and the 496R. These
forces to reckoned with pickups yield numerous tonal opportunities and
can help drive your favorite amp to ultra crunch and scorching — leads
in addition to providing ballsy blues tones, warm, fluid vocal tones,
snappy country, and fat — sweet growls. Instead of just being able to
split both pickups at the same time with one push/pull (like the
original Gibson Les Paul Axcess configuration), you can now "split" each
guitar pickup separately by pulling up either the rhythm or treble tone
knob which allows you to blend "single coil" tones with full humbucking
tones. This gives 2 more pickup settings than the original Gibson Les
Paul Axcess Standard configuration thereby providing a wider array of
tones. Simply pull up the treble and/or rhythm tone control knobs to
"axcess" single coil tones and experiment with combining full humbucking
with single coil tones, etc.&hellip:


Being a product of the
Gibson Custom Shop, the Les Paul Axcess is an electric guitar built to
the highest standards attainable, which include a final setup and fret
dressing by the computer-controlled PLEK System. All Gibson Les Paul
Standard necks receive precision fret dressing and setup with the Plek
system. As the guitar lies in a cradle, a computer-controlled robot arm
moves along the neck measuring each fret's height, the fingerboard
radius, even the bow in the neck. Using that data, the Plek machine
adjusts the truss rod, cuts the nut slots for optimal spacing and height
for each string, files each fret to a hundredth of a millimeter
accuracy, and then polishes the frets. In a fraction of the time it
takes a skilled technician, the Plek machine eliminates buzzing strings
and dead spots, producing a neck with flawless intonation and superb
action.


Each Gibson Les Paul Axcess Standard guitar also comes
with a custom shop hardshell case, and a custom shop certificate of
authenticity.
