Explanation
"Does your current Les Paul lose its low end or sound muffled when you crank the distortion?" That edgy yet thick distortion sound you hear from your favorite artists—a guitar with sheer power alone isn’t enough to achieve it.
For players who love HR/HM in particular, a sound lacking in clarity is a deal-breaker. Even if you’re seeking a brilliant, aggressive tone like Randy Rhoads’, it’s difficult to achieve the ideal balance of grit and punch with current lightweight models or, conversely, overly vintage, delicate models.
That’s where this 1989 Les Paul Custom comes in. Retaining the elegant looks that have been praised as “suit-worthy” since its 1954 debut, this particular model features a one-piece mahogany neck. It utilizes wood material similar to that used in the 1968 reissue, delivering a sound with a solid core that holds up in today’s music scene.
The standout feature is its HB-R & HB-L pickups, developed by legendary engineer Bill Lawrence. These offer overwhelming richness in the mid-to-high frequencies, crisp clarity that doesn’t get muddled even when distorted, and exquisite sustain when playing leads—a perfect match for distortion that can only be found in instruments from this era.
Combining a substantial look with modern aggression, 1989 models are becoming increasingly difficult to find in satisfactory condition on the used market. The 1-piece mahogany neck version, in particular, is an unmissable option for those seriously seeking a Custom they can rely on. For those who want to crank the distortion and command the stage with an overwhelming presence, please come experience the grit and power of this 1989 model for yourself on our in-store amp.
