Gibson gives the Les Paul a Fender twist with the Long Scale Custom

Gibson Les Paul Custom Long Scale.

Gibson has put a long-scale spin on the Les Paul Custom by matching Fender’s favorite scale length – meet the 25.5" Long Scale Custom.

Whereas Fender’s Stratocaster, Telecaster and Jazzmaster models favor 25.5” scale lengths, Gibson typically opts for a more stunted 24.75” setup for its catalog. The Les Paul, SG, ES-335… you name it, it will have a 24.75” scale length.
