Full Description
View Full DescriptionA rock legend
Joe Perry is an icon of rock music. His work as the lead guitarist of Aerosmith catapulted the band to super-stardom. And he's responsible for some of the most enduring riffs and solos in the history of music. So you can be sure that a guitar designed by Perry is just as iconic as the man himself. Made to deliver the very best playability, all-conquering sound, and eye-catching style, guitars this good don't come around very often. And they won't stay around for long, either - there are only 150 in existence. You shouldn't hesistate - don't miss a thing.
Sound to thrill the senses
This weapon of a guitar is loaded with everything you need to deliver that booming, all-out rock 'n' roll sound. It's got a single 498T humbucker, bringing a thick, roaring tone that'll let you blast every note home with aggression. It's one pickup, no nonsense. Just straightforward power. And you needn't worry about sound quality - it eliminates noise interference at any output. So if you do want to turn the volume up to 11, you can. You'll enjoy supreme clarity in everything you play.
Maximum versatility with top-quality coil splitting
The Joe Perry Les Paul is no one trick pony. So while those meaty humbucker tones are awesome, it doesn't limit you to just them. The 498T is push-pull coil split enabled. This means you can quickly and easily change to bright single-coil sound at a moment's notice. Perfect for changing up your tone mid-gig. Thanks to this, the Axcess will accommodate a huge range of genres and styles - pretty much anything you can throw at it. There are no boundaries.
The ultimate guitar neck
A lot goes into crafting a guitar's neck. Because it's vital. With the wrong design, it'll ruin a guitar's playability. Gibson have taken it to the next level with the Les Paul Axcess. Down to the tiniest detail, the neck has been made to ensure that your playing experience is the very best it can possibly be.
That all starts with the '59 "C"-shaped neck profile. Specially designed for Joe Perry, this shape is chunkier than that of a standard neck. So it's got a real substantial feel in your hand. The result is maximum comfort, allowing you to play smooothly and quickly with ease. And only the very best woods have been used. Solid mahogany for the neck is sleek, decreasing friction and allowing your hand to move faster up and down the scale. And an Indian rosewood fingerboard really is the crème de la crème of playing surfaces. It feels amazing beneath your fingertips, allowing every riff and solo to flow effortlessly. Play better than ever before.
Bring a unique edge to your solos
Make your playing stand out. The Joe Perry Axcess Les Paul comes equipped with a Wilkinson/Gotoh tremolo bridge. Which means you can easily add warbling, distinctive tremolo effects to your playing. This two-point spring system provides you with an endless range of sounds to add to your lead lines and solos. So divebomb and pitch shift as much as you like - you'll never get tired of the possibilities on offer.
Out of this world style
Simply stunning. The Joe Perry Les Paul has a striking aesthetic that'll stop anyone in their tracks. Pearloid trapezoid inlays spread across the fretboard are elegant and luxurious, while chrome-plated hardware adds an extra touch of shine. But the real brilliance comes courtesy of the gorgeous aged antique gold finish. Sparkling and distinctive, it'll make sure you're the centre of attention at every show you play.
