Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Classic T Electric Guitar with modifications in Gold Top finish. Made in the USA in 2017, 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 Jescar Evo-Gold frets, upgraded Grover locking tuners, a Nashville TOM bridge, and Stopbar tailpiece. The pickups have been upgraded to a DiMarzio DP151BCU in the neck position, and a DiMarzio DP100bcu Super Distortion in the bridge position. These are wired to two volume controls, two tone controls (push/pull coil split), and a three-way pickup selector.

The Mahogany neck plays beautifully, with the '60s Slim Taper profile offering comfortable playability and easy reach across the register. The gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 24.75" scale, whilst the single cutaway body design ensures easy access to the upper frets. The Rosewood of the fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 12" radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques. The Mahogany body features traditional weight relief. This ensures comfort on long gigs without detracting from the 'classic' Les Paul experience; substantial & resonant. The upgraded Jescar Evo Gold frets provide a super smooth feel for bending and complete the luxurious aesthetic of this Gold Top.

The pair of DiMarzio humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, lifting the rock and blues tones that the Les Paul has long been renowned for even higher than before. The DiMarzio DP151BCU in the neck position is warm and round, with plenty of power for pushing your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. The DiMarzio DP100bcu Super Distortion in the bridge is of course brighter, perfect for rock rhythm parts and riffing because it can handle a serious amount of gain. There is all of the snarl and bite that we associate with rockin' Les Paul tones, yet at the same time definition and clarity is retained. The pickups clean up nicely too, with shimmering clean sounds ready for the softer sections of the set. The traditional Les Paul controls are as versatile as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound right on the guitar.

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
