Description: Gibson Les Paul Classic Custom 2007 EB Antique Ebony -Guitar of the Week- Description GibsonLesPaulClassicCustom2007AntiqueEbony(EB)-GuitaroftheWeek-Guitar of the Week, commonly known as GOTW, which Gibson held in 2007, was an interesting project in which a new guitar was released in limited quantities every week, and there was a wide variety of models, from simple different color specifications to unusual ones. Currently, they can only be obtained on the second-hand market, so they are highly rare and are becoming more premium.This time we have arrived Les Paul Classic Custom Antique Ebony Color. Made in 2007, weight is 4.12kg. Only 150-200 of this earliest version were made, making it one of the rarest in the Guitar of the Week lineup.As the name suggests, the Classic Custom is a model that combines the Les Paul Custom and the Les Paul Classic. Its popularity was re-produced in 2011-2012 and again in 2014 with slightly different specifications. (No reprints have been made since.) All Classic Customs have one thing in common: they have an aesthetic that is similar to guitars made by the Gibson Custom Shop.The wood material is a combination of mahogany body neck, maple top, and rosewood fingerboard. Gold hardware, a set of 57Classic 57ClassicPlus humbuckers, and a slim taper neck. EBONY FINISH The 7-layer binding is designed to age, giving it the look of a 1950s black beauty.Additionally, this 2007 version of the Classic Custom pays homage to the 1957 Les Paul Custom with LesPaul engraved on the brass truss rod cover.At first glance, this guitar looks almost identical to the Black Beauty, but the details are different. The fingerboard inlay is trapezoid, the head inlay is crown, the neck profile is slim taper, and the 7-layer binding is only on the top.The Black Beauty, on the other hand, has a block fingerboard inlay, a split diamond head inlay, a 50's style neck profile, a meaty medium C, and 7-ply binding on both the top and back. (Only the 2011-2012 version of the Classic Custom features a split diamond head inlay.)The Classic Custom has appeared many times in GuitaroftheWeek and has different versions. White binding silver burst color at week 16, 1954 spec with two P-90 pickups at week 28, cream color with gold covered humbuckers at week 39, three DiMarzio pickups at week 42. The installed Heritage Cherry Burst color and the Ebony color equipped with 3 pickups were released in the 46th week.This first version of the Classic Custom is a must-see for Les Paul collectors.A hard case is included.I first learned of the existence of this model when it arrived in stock, but with so many variations, was it really popular at the time? This model is a dream come true for players who like the cool look of custom guitars, but don't like thick necks, so they wonder if there's a slim one like the classics.Gibson may have made this model because they wanted to make this model for people who couldn't buy customs because they were too expensive, but because the production numbers of this model were unusually low, they made it a premium model, and now it looks like a normal custom. It has become a price. I don't know what this is.What's interesting is that the sound of this guitar was overwhelmingly classical. It doesn't have a harsh, hard custom feel, but rather a standard sound with an emphasis on the mids. The fact that the fingerboard is rosewood instead of ebony and the pickup is 57 Classic instead of 490/498 may be the big factors that determine the difference in sound. It also has to do with neck shape.This is likely to be the first and last time it arrives, so if you've been looking for it, don't miss out on this chance.Exterior condition: The exterior shows signs of use, including scratches, small dents, and dull parts.Truss rod with plenty of roomCondition of the frets: Approximately 8 minutes remaining, good condition with no chatter or clogging of sound!Nut width actual measurement approx. 43mmColor blackManufacture year 2007Pickup configuration HHNumber of frets: 22 fretsneck scale mediumWeight 4.12kgBody material maple top mahogany backFingerboard material mapleneck joint set neckNeck material mahoganySerial number 016570354Accessories Hard case Shipping Shipping by EMS or FedEx,UPS (international express mail service, with Tracking and Insurance, handling cost).
