The Les Paul Standard is the flagship of the Gibson electric guitar collection and represents a perfect blend of traditional design and contemporary appointments. The 2015 model features a mahogany body with modern weight relief and a mahogany neck with an asymmetrical Slim Taper profile. The compound radius rosewood fretboard is buffed and dressed to perfection by Gibson's PLEK system. Other features include BurstBucker Pro 1+2 pickups with coil-splitting and phase changing, reverse polarity rear pickup, removable pickguard and an improved tune-o-matic bridge. Includes hardshell case.
