Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Traditional in Desert Burst finish. Made in the USA in 2016, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a traditionally weight-relieved Mahogany body with Flamed Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret bound Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with Nickel/Chrome hardware including a set of Kluson Deluxe tuning machines, Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The pickups are a pair of Gibson humbuckers, with a '57 Classic in the neck and '57 Classic Plus in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 50’s profile filling the hand nicely, feeling suitably traditional and substantial in the hand without being at all cumbersome. This creates a feeling of dependability whilst remaining articulate enough for technical playing. 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 Jumbo frets provide a rock-solid playing surface whilst also assisting with string bending and vibrato techniques.
The pair of Gibson humbuckers installed in this guitar offer warm and rich tones, exactly as you would expect from a Les Paul. The '57 Classic in the neck is thick and creamy, saturating beautifully into full-bodied distortion as you crank the gain; perfect for lead lines and solos. The '57 Classic Plus in the bridge position is as bright and biting as you could ever need, helping you to cut through any mix with your rock rhythm tones. The traditional Les Paul control layout keeps things feeling simple, with easy and intuitive tonal shaping that feels nicely responsive to small changes, allowing you to tweak your tone right on the guitar.
