JerryRipped Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Anybody have an idea if there are future plans for more Les Paul Custom Lite guitars? I have had four, all of them stellar. I know they are polarizing, but every time somebody plays mine they are blown away with their comfort and tone. My current one (http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/E...Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Custom-Classic-Light.aspx) is attached. My absolute fantasy (for those at Gibson that might be listening!) is that same guitar but in Wine Red, axcess neck heel, under 7 pounds... satin finish would be an even bigger bonus!

merciful-evans Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think they are great for the reasons you stated. No plans (I'm aware of) for any more, but Gibson do reprise models when it suits them. I have a Less Pluss from the despised 2015 collection. You can see the extra wide neck from this pic which suits how I play perfectly. The thin body is wonderful for upper fret access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twang Gang Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Mine was from 2012 and was a Custom Lite model. It only had one tone control and a toggle switch for coil splitting (like mercifuls in the photo above). I had the toggle replaced with a second tone knob that was push/pull for the splitting. Loved the comfort of it, thin and light weight yet still sounded like a LP should. I have seen examples going back as far as 1989, not sure if they made any before that or not? Seems they will make some in a given year, then not make any for many years, then make a few more so hard to guess if and when they may come back again.

Grog Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have been eyeballing one of these in Alpine White for a few years. I just pulled the trigger on this one last night. It is light years different than anything I have. I’m looking forward to it’s arrival……… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 @Grog - that white custom is killer looking and seems to be in fine condition. What year is it? It seems they have been offered in different finishes each time they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grog Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Mine is a 2014. Some had a 120 Anniversary fret marker, mine doesn’t. I’ve seen them in ebony, tobacco sunburst & alpine white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
