Gibson is the king of the guitar world, having produced countless masterpieces.

It's beloved by countless top artists, including Jimmy Page, Slash, and Zakk Wylde.

The Les Paul model, released by Gibson in 1952, was Gibson's first solid-body guitar and was introduced as the signature model of American guitarist Les Paul.

The Les Paul's distinctive fat tone and long sustain have earned it favor with countless artists, and it has colored the music scene across a variety of genres since its introduction.

It is truly a representative electric guitar.

This guitar was made in the Custom Shop.

The Custom Shop is a special manufacturing department established to handle custom orders.

We use our advanced technical skills to produce superior guitars to meet the demands of professional artists and guitar dealers.

Their high quality is highly regarded by artists around the world.

This model is the signature model of Tak Matsumoto (B'z), a world-renowned Japanese rock guitarist.

Introducing the "Tak Matsumoto Les Paul Standard Canary Yellow" in 1999 as Gibson's first Japanese artist model, this 2018 reissue commemorates the 30th anniversary of B'z's formation.

This limited edition model is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

With a Canary Yellow finish reminiscent of the Ferrari yellow color inherited from the original, black binding, and abalone inlays on the fingerboard, it exudes a one-of-a-kind look.

Made by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2018, it features the latest features of the time, including a spec tubeless truss rod, Custom Bucker pickups, and hide-glued wood.

The body back is made of mahogany and the top is maple.

At Matsumoto's request, the mahogany back is chambered, achieving both lightweight weight and rich resonance.

The neck is mahogany and the fingerboard is rosewood.

The neck shape accurately replicates the profile of a digitally scanned 1959 Les Paul owned by Matsumoto himself.

The pickups are Gibson Custom Buckers.

With its rich midrange and Les Paul-esque thick sustain, yet extending to a brilliant top end, this guitar truly embodies the "Tak Matsumoto sound."

This historic model, which made its mark in 1999 alongside global guitar heroes such as Jimmy Page, Slash, and Ace Frehley as the fifth Gibson signature model (sixth if Les Paul is included), makes this an extremely rare collector's item.

This special guitar recreates the tone beloved by the world-renowned Tak Matsumoto with the highest quality from the Gibson Custom Shop.

This model is recommended not only for B'z fans but also for players seeking the highest quality Les Paul.
