Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Classic T electric guitar in Gold Top finish. Made in the USA in 2017, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with Carved Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Nickel hardware is fitted including a Stop Bar tailpiece, ABR-1 ToM bridge & Grover locking tuning machines. A pair of Gibson Open 'Zebra Coil' passive humbucking pickups are fitted, with a '57 Classic in the neck & a '57 Classic + in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, neck volume, neck tone, bridge volume & bridge tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the '60s Slim Taper profile feeling rather slender in the hand for smooth & responsive playability across the register. Whilst certainly on the slim side for a Les Paul, there is still plenty of substance to the neck which works well for chord & rhythm playing. The Rosewood of the fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, with a nice dark appearance & tight grain that provides a smooth & durable playing surface in all fingerboard positions. 9-Hole weight relief in the body keeps the weight down somewhat, enhancing comfort on long gigs & practice sessions.
Amplified, the pair of Gibson Open 'Zebra-Coil' passive humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick & full-bodied tones, perfect for the blues, classic rock & even heavy rock tones that we associate with the Les Paul. The '57 Classic in the neck produces a round & powerful tone, perfect for melodic lead lines & solos that can easily cut through a mix. The '57 Classic + in the bridge position is of course brighter & hotter, and can handle a serious amount of gain for saturated power chords & rocking riffs. A nicely traditional feeling Les Paul with some subtle upgrades that make it more practical for the contemporary player.
