The Les Paul Axcess Standard has been a favorite of professional players for years, and the latest refresh has it looking and playing better than ever. It features the new Apex headstock for added strength, redesigned contours for added comfort and fingerboard access, and powerful coil-tapped humbuckers for sonic versatility and strength. This version sees the introduction of an exciting new color, DC Rust, which is a unique stain that matches the modern appeal of the instrument itself.

Les Paul Custom guitars from 2000 to 2003 were specially made to the requirements of the client, as regards fretboard, neck and body woods, and type of hardware, with some models allowing for requests for specific numbers of turns in the pickups’ coils, as well. Individual logo designs and hard cases were also manufactured at the request of the customer. Specific Custom Shop serial numbers were assigned, encoded with Les Paul Custom’s smaller, more compact serial number in the format “CS XXXXX”.

The first two numbers represent on which number this specific model was built, next two represent the year they were made in and the last numeric value represents the month of formation
