Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul ES in Lightburst finish. Made in the USA in 2015 in Gibson’s Memphis factory, this rare Les Paul features a semi-hollow construction with no ‘f’ holes. This guitar consists of a body made from Maple/Poplar/Maple with a Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Kluson Deluxe tuning machines with Tulip buttons, ABR-1 bridge and Stopbar tailpiece. A pair of ‘Memphis Historic Spec humbucker pickups. These are wired to a 3-way pickup selector and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with a profile that is on the feels on the thinner side of most Gibson guitars. This slender neck with shallow shoulders offers a responsive and articulate playing experience well suited to l;ead players. 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.
The semi-hollow construction provides an open airiness to the sound which makes the instrument suitable for a wide range of genres whilst retaining a unique and unmistakable voice. The ‘Memphis Historic Spec’ humbuckers deliver a thick and powerful tone, with smooth rounded lows, clear and open mid range and a sweet treble response that captures the attack and aggression of your playing. The pots feel nicely responsive, allowing you to dial in your perfect tone with ease, whilst the simplicity of the controls ensure that you can stay focussed on your playing whilst still offering comprehensive control of your tone.
