Gibson Custom Shop Peter Frampton Les Paul Special

Gibson Custom Shop Peter Frampton Les Paul Special

• Using his original 1958 Les Paul Junior as a jumping off point, Peter Frampton worked closely with the Custom Shop luthiers to develop an “Inspired By” guitar that would embody the keen vintage sensibilities and highly personalized specs that Frampton is known for. At first glance, the new Peter Frampton Signature model looks like the classic Les Paul Junior it’s based on, but closer inspection reveals several unique specs. A mahogany top covers a weight relieved mahogany back, and the ebony fingerboard and super slim neck profile call to mind the neck found on the Custom Shop’s Peter Frampton Signature Les Paul Custom. However, the three independently wired pickups are single coil P-90s this time, instead of the humbuckers found on his Signature Custom. The end result is a guitar that is lightweight, highly responsive, and full of tonal options.
