Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom (2014) – EMG 81/85 – Richlite – Black Beauty Gone Brutal
A proper metal machine disguised as a classic.
This 2014 Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Custom takes the timeless “Black Beauty” platform and pushes it firmly into modern territory. Factory-fitted with the legendary EMG 81/85 active set, this guitar delivers the tight, aggressive response and surgical clarity that serious high-gain players demand.
The combination is spot on: the EMG 81 in the bridge gives you razor-sharp attack and definition for fast riffing and palm-muted precision, while the 85 in the neck brings a thicker, fluid voice for leads that cut without getting muddy.
The Richlite fingerboard is a quiet advantage here. It’s incredibly consistent, smooth under the fingers, and adds to the focused, immediate response of the instrument. No dead spots, no fuss—just a fast, reliable playing surface that thrives under gain.
Tonally, this Les Paul is all about control and punch. Tight low end, articulate mids, and a top end that stays clear even under serious distortion. Exactly what you want when things get loud.
