Mahogany Body and Maple Top Produce Legendary Les Paul Tone

Just like the Les Pauls that rocked the '50s, this guitar's tonewood combination of solid mahogany and a plain maple top yields that fat, creamy midrange and singing sustain that players have craved for over 60 years. The mahogany offers incredible resonance and depth, while the maple contributes tightness and cut to the lows and highs. Together, they make a versatile tonal palette that handles crunchy riffs and wailing leads with aplomb. Whether you play rock, blues, jazz or country, this Les Paul serves up archetypal tone that cuts through a mix.

The '50s Neck Profile Evokes Vintage Comfort and Playability

The '50s Vintage mahogany neck has a rounded profile that many players find supremely comfortable and familiar. Its vintage-style 12" radius and 1.69" nut width enhance playability and lend an old-school feel. The Indian rosewood fingerboard adds bright, crisp overtones to complement the warm mahogany. With 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays, this Les Paul invites you to play all across the neck with vintage-inspired feel and ergonomics.

BurstBucker Pickups Accurately Emulate Vintage PAF Humbuckers

This Les Paul wields a BurstBucker 1 at the neck and BurstBucker 2 at the bridge, designed to recreate the legendary sound of Gibson's late-'50s PAF humbuckers. From warm, throaty neck tones to biting bridge growl, these pickups nail the highly sought-after sound, articulation and dynamics of the originals. Outfitted with Alnico II magnets and wound with vintage-style enamel wire, they deliver all the richness, harmonic complexity and singing sustain that players expect from a great Les Paul.
