Overview

The new flagship of High Performance.

The Les Paul Standard 2017 HP is the most luxurious and groundbreaking Les Paul Standard ever made. A super exclusive AAAA flamed maple top, premium chrome hardware, beautiful nitro finish, and genuine mother-of-pearl inlays deliver the luxury.

Extreme performance comes from the prominent use of aluminum, steel, and titanium hardware; an innovative Fast-Access heel and Soloist's neck width and asymmetrical slim-taper profile; and a revolutionary new wiring system that allows over 150 fully reversible sonic options from the PAF-inspired Burstbucker Rhythm Pro and Lead Pro pickups.

It comes delivered in a Gibson High Performance super premium stamped aluminum case, along with a Gibson premium leather strap, a Gibson multi-tool and a polishing cloth.
