Gibson Custom Les Paul Axcess Standard Electric Guitar

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 guitar from the golden era of
1958 to '60. The Gibson Les Paul Axcess reveals a handful of upgrades
upon closer examination—all modifications made in the name of maximum
playability and versatility. The most noticeable addition is the Floyd
Rose tailpiece, a unit optimized for anything from subtle vibrato
wobbles to dramatic, rumbling divebombs. Partnered with an R4 locking
nut, it also guarantees outstanding tuning stability and return-to-pitch
accuracy.


While the Gibson Les Paul Axcess guitar sports what
looks from the front to be a traditional 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 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's smoothly carved
neck joint is joined by a "belly scarf" (a.k.a. ribcage contour) that
allows the body of the Les Paul guitar to hug closely to your own body
in the playing position without digging in. Add to these contours the
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 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 LP 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 set-up and fret
dressing by the computer-controlled PLEK System. All Les Paul Standard
necks receive precision fret dressing and setup with the Plek system. As
the Gibson 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.
