Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 – Ebony Black w/OHSC (LPCSW18EBNH1)

Description

Here’s a real beauty – a 2018 Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 model in Ebony Black with a pair of black-covered P-90 pickups.

Visually, this Gibson Les Paul Classic P90 is very striking and you can see why the term ‘Black Beauty’ was used for the initial 1954 Les Paul Customs, which had a bridge 90 and a ‘Staple Top’ AlNiCo pickup in the neck position. There was one other invisible difference – the Les Paul Custom body was entirely Mahogany, with no Maple cap. The Maple capped Customs didn’t appear until Gibson re-launched the Les Paul in 1968. The Les Paul Classic example uses a solid Mahogany back, plain Maple cap (there’s little advantage in using figured woods under solid colours), Mahogany neck and Indian Rosewood fingerboard.

The original Gibson-branded hard shell case is included.
