**History**For nearly six decades now Gibsons Les Paul Standard has stood the test time as the most playable guitar in the world. While others have attempted to imitate it none have come close to duplicating the qualities of the finest six-stringed instrument on the planet. Yet each year Gibson attempts to improve on the worlds best guitar. Now we introduce the new Les Paul Axcess Standard from Gibson Custom.**Body and Neck**Encounter the clever structural alteration that gives this new model its name by taking the instrument in your hands and running your fingers up the neck. The Axcess sports what looks from the front to be a traditional Les Paul neck joint yet 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 Axcess gives you that legendary Les Paul playability all the way up the neck welcoming you to take it right over the top. The one-piece 24 3/4" scale length mahogany neck features a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays.To further enhance playing comfort this smoothly carved neck joint is combined with a belly scarf (aka ribcage contour) that allows the body of the guitar to hug closely to your own body in the playing position without digging in. Add to these contours the Les Paul Axcesss slightly thinner body made from weight-relieved mahogany - with a carved maple top available in Iced Tea Burst or Gun Metal Gray finishes and single-ply cream binding on body top - and youve got an instrument that is refreshingly light and a pure joy to play either strapped on or in a seated position.**Hardware**The most noticeable addition is the Floyd Rose tailpiece a unit optimized for anything from subtle vibrato wobbles to dramatic rumbling divebombs. On the Les Paul Axcess Standard the vibrato is installed right at Gibson Custom as part of the manufacturing process which means this potent piece of high-performance hardware interacts seamlessly with the design of the guitar. Partnered with an R4 locking nut it also guarantees outstanding tuning stability and return-to-pitch accuracy.Beyond all these significant considerations for playing feel the Axcess is also geared toward optimum tone as youd expect from any Gibson Custom creation. Exposed-coil Burst Bucker 1 and Burst Bucker 2 pickups in the neck and bridge positions - the most accurate reproduction vintage-PAF-style humbuckers Gibson has ever offered - yield everything from warm fluid vocal tones to fat sweet growl while an added push/pull switch on the treble Tone knob provides coil splitting for accurate single-coil tones.These unique tonal combinations excel at delivering everything from singing classic rock lead tones to contemporary crunch to extremes of twang and jangle. Even the pure-nickel wound .10-.46 Gibson Vintage Strings it ships with contribute toward its rich textured voice. Each instrument also comes with a Gibson Custom hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
