The Les Paul Supreme The Les Paul Supreme was unveiled at the January 2003 NAMM show, and was an immediate hit with show participants. Orders for the guitar began to accumulate, and filling these orders was delayed somewhat as Gibson worked to obtain needed supplies and to refine its production techniques for the guitar. The pipeline of manufactured guitars began to hit stores this summer. As a limited run of 2003 instruments, the Les Paul Supreme features a highly figured maple on the back as well as the top. The Supreme has a chambered mahogany body, and features a custom binding on top, back, fingerboard and headstock and split-block inlays on an ebony fingerboard. It has a unique headstock inlay, which is an abalone globe with pearloid “Supreme” banner. The guitar has an ebony fretboard, gold frets, Grover keystone tuners, brass truss rod cover, and 490R/498T alnico humbucking pickups. One of the most unique features of the Supreme is that there is no control cavity cover or switchplate on the back of the guitar.
