Classic Appointments and Custom Styling

Crafted as a Les Paul Standard, the Billy Morrison Les Paul has the classic carved maple top and strategically chambered mahogany body that have helped to make that creamy yet stinging Les Paul tone legendary. Style-wise, however, this instrument gets the Custom treatment all the way, with gold-plated hardware throughout, an ebony fingerboard with pearloid trapezoid inlays, and even gold-colored frets—all dressed in a stunning cream finish. Crowning touches include a matching cream headstock with black-swirl pearloid Gibson logo, and a truss-rod cover with "Billy Morrison" model imprint.

To ram it all home, the Billy Morrison Les Paul is equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan's® most popular humbucking pickups, a high-output JB™ (model SH-4) in the bridge position, and a more PAF-styled '59™ (model SH-1N) in the neck position, Morrison's own pickups of choice. Between them, they offer everything from a throaty roar with unbridled crunch and singing sustain to warm and sultry creaminess, respectively.

A Tone Pro® Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide enhanced resonance and sustain along with easy and precise action and intonation adjustments, while locking Grover keystone-button tuners with a super-efficient 18:1 gear ratio offer smooth and precise tuning. Finally, a Corian nut cut on Gibson's renowned PLEK machine for optimum precision promises outstanding sustain and hitch-free string slots. Add it all up, and it's a powerful performance axe for the gigging guitarist, as well as an outstanding signature model for the discerning collector.

Every Billy Morrison Les Paul comes protected in a Gibson hardshell case with Union Jack motif, and includes an owner's manual and adjustment literature, along with Gibson's Limited Lifetime Warranty and 24/7/365 Customer Service.
Body and Finish
Crafted from the classic tonewood combination of a carved maple top and a strategically chambered mahogany body in the image of the classic Les Paul Standard, the Billy Morrison Les Paul is finished in high-gloss Cream in nitrocellulose lacquer. Its looks are further enhanced by a multi-ply binding around the body top, which is matched by a multi-ply binding around the color-matched headstock.
