Description
Experience the essence of rock 'n' roll with the Gibson Joe Perry Axcess Les Paul, a guitar that masterfully blends vintage charm with modern playability. Inspired by the legendary Aerosmith guitarist, this instrument is crafted from a resonant mahogany body paired with a two-piece plain maple top, delivering a rich, full-bodied sound that’s both warm and articulate. The ultra-chunky '59 C-shaped neck offers a comfortable grip, making it perfect for those extended jam sessions.
What sets this guitar apart is its thoughtful design enhancements, including a special neck joint that provides a heel-less feel, granting you unparalleled access to the upper frets for those blistering solos. The Wilkinson VS100N tremolo offers exceptional tuning stability, allowing you to execute those deep bends and dive bombs with confidence.
Equipped with a Gibson 498T humbucker, this guitar delivers a powerful and aggressive tone that can be easily tamed with a roll of the volume knob, offering a surprising range of tonal possibilities. And for those moments when you want a cleaner sound, the push-pull coil split on the pickup’s tone knob offers a bright, chime-like quality.
Each Gibson Joe Perry Axcess Les Paul is hand-aged at the Gibson Custom Shop, giving it a worn, broken-in aesthetic that adds to its vintage allure. Limited to just 125 pieces, this guitar is not just an instrument but a collector’s treasure.

"This is Joe Perry Les Paul #3. This guitar is brand spanking new this year. It's got the old Joe Perry name on there. When you flip it over it has the Joe Perry prototype on the back of the headstock. So we were in the studio talking about different guitars that Joe wanted this year and he wanted a lighter Les Paul with a tremolo on it. And they came up with this one. This one basically has like an Axcess body and what they've done is completely chopped away any of the meat that gave it weight so it's thinner now. It sounds really, really good. This is a Wilkinson Tremolo. I love the rollers, it's like my favorite part of it. We pull it back a whole step, that's the secret. Joe loves to go up and down, he loves to be able to bury and then get one whole step out of it on the other side. We don't know if this guitar will become a guitar that you can buy or not. We're not sure if it will become a production model. Joe is still trying to figure out if he wants it too because he really likes the fact that it's the only one," says Joe Perry's guitar tech.
