Gibson Custom Ebony – Les Paul Custom inspired acoustics
Four stunning new Custom Shop acoustic models in ebony finishes
4,0 / 5,0 | 
Gibson Custom Ebony Acoustics is a series of four fairly iconic acoustic models from the US brand. Each is outfitted in a sleek black Les Paul Custom-style aesthetic.
Gibson Custom Ebony Acoustics
The Gibson Les Paul Custom was created when Les Paul personally wanted a guitar that “looks like a tuxedo.” Now this timeless aesthetic is available on a quartet of acoustic guitars from Gibson Custom, handmade in Bozeman, Montana, equipped with high-quality components and painted with shiny nitro lacquer in ebony.
With their ebony finish and custom-inspired look, including multi-layer binding, mother-of-pearl block inlays, and the Custom Split Diamond headstock insert, these Gibson Custom acoustic guitars have the “Smoking” charisma and the optical appeal of the legendary Les Paul Custom.
L R Baggs
All models are equipped with a solid Sitka spruce top. They are also equipped with L R Baggs Session VTC electronics, which includes an integrated preamp and piezo pickup under the saddle and makes these guitars suitable for stage and studio.
J-45 Custom Ebony

The J-45 is the most popular acoustic Gibson model of all time. Her unmistakable sound has made her the first choice of music legends of all genres for decades.
In addition to the spruce top, this J-45 Custom has a mahogany back and sides and a Slimtaper neck made of mahogany with a scale of 24.75′′.

Finally, the Songwriter EC Custom was first introduced in 2003 and is aimed at songwriters and stage performers alike. She combines Gibson’s time-honored performance from the 1930s with an original dreadnought form. The rosewood and solid Sitka spruce top deliver a full, balanced sound. The cutaway body ensures excellent access to the upper frets of the comfortably playable mahogany neck with a round profile and ebony fingerboard.

Beautiful! They look nice, but I would have loved to see the traditional Hummingbird and SJ-200 pickguard detail retained too.
