Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Classic Electric Guitar in Cherry Sunburst finish. Made in the USA in 2003, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body with a Carved Maple top, a Mahogany neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include upgraded Grover tuners, a Tune-o-Matic bridge, a Stopbar tailpiece, Aged 'Snot Green' Trapezoid inlays, and an upgraded set of Brandonwound Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls (push/pull coil splits), two tone controls (push/pull phase options), and a three-way pickup selector.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Slim Tapered 60’s profile providing a much slimmer shape when compared with more traditional Gibson necks. This allows for more technical playing to be executed more ergonomically whilst still retaining the solid feel of a Gibson neck. The traditional 12" fingerboard radius strikes the perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and smooth lead lines, making for a truly authentic yet refined Les Paul playing experience, whilst the Rosewood fingerboard adorned with 22 frets provides a rock-solid playing surface whilst also assisting with string bending and vibrato techniques.
The pair of upgraded Brandonwound humbuckers installed in this guitar deliver thick, full-bodied tones that are unmistakably Les Paul. The bridge position is round and smooth, with plenty of low end and a broad midrange that is perfect for your solo tones and lead lines. The bridge position offers brighter sounds, cutting through the mix easily and saturating into a rich distortion as you drive the amp. The Les Paul has long been famed for its incredible sustain, and this particular guitar easily lives up to those expectations with seemingly endless amounts of buttery long notes ringing out. The controls are nice and responsive, allowing you to dial in a wide range of tones without going anywhere near a pedalboard thanks to the push/pull capabilities of splitting the coils and changing the phase. It's easy to see why this is such a well regarded model within the Les Paul line up, delivering a refined yet authentically vintage playing experience, tone and vibe.
