Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Standard High Performance in Desert Burst finish. Made in the USA in 2016 this guitar features a Mahogany body with Flamed maple top, set Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include G-Force tuning machines, Titanium Zero Fret Nut and Tune-o-Matic bridge with Stopbar tailpiece. A pair of Gibson Burstbucker Pro’s are fitted and wired to a 3-way pickup selector, independent volumes with push/pull pots for coil splitting and independent tones with push/pull pots for coil selecting.
The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the Asymmetrical SlimTaper profile feeling fantastic in the hand and offering comfortable playability in all registers. The 1.745" nut width retains the regular Les Paul string spacing, meaning that there is more room on either side of the fretboard to prevent 'falling off' the board during vibrato or string bending techniques. The sculpted neck heel affords the player unrestricted access to the upper register, which is a real novelty on a Les Paul.
Amplified, the pair of Gibson Pro humbuckers provide a fantastically thick and full tone right out of the gate. The Rhythm Pro Humbucker in the neck is warm and round, with huge solo tones and smooth, buttery distortion on offer. The Lead Pro+ Humbucker in the bridge position offers full-bodied yet cutting rock rhythm tones that will catapult you to the front of any mix with ease. The myriad of push/pull and DIP switch controls in this guitar ensure unrivalled versatility. Coil splitting is just the start of this, with phase reverse, treble bleed and coil selection options, as well as coil tapping controls and transient suppression for recording. This guitar truly lives up to the name 'High Performance'.
