Gibson

The legend continues with 21st-century neck refinements.

The Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Electric Guitar earns its name thanks to the traditional features you expect in a Les Paul guitar: mahogany body, set neck with rounded '50s profile, maple top, and a pair of Gibson's '57 Classic humbucker pickups. One significant, yet not-so-traditional improvement: the neck is analyzed by Gibson's Plek machine. Using computer precision Gibson Plek files the frets and cuts slots in the nut to an accuracy of a hundredth of a millimeter for optimal action and intonation without string buzzing.

Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.

Great guitar, but heavy!

| Review By: sore fingers | 1 month, 1 week ago

0 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

Pretty straight forward guitar when it comes to features. It's got everything a Les Paul should have. The 57 Classics sound beautiful on the clean channel. I don't play with very much gain so I can't really say how they perform when you really crank it up.

Quality:

Everything about the guitar is top-notch, mostly. The finish, binding, fret work, and overall construction is fine. The only thing that caught my eye was on the upper bout where the toggle switch is. It seems like the guitar may not have been properly carved because right where the switch is there's a subtle bump. Maybe this is normal, though.

Value:

I feel like I got what I paid for. This is a sturdy, well-made, American guitar that I can see myself playing for the rest of my life.

Overall:

Everything about this guitar is great except for one thing, the weight. I mostly play Strats but have always wanted a Les Paul. I knew that they were heavy but this thing seriously felt like I was playing a fence post when I first got it. I'm getting used to it, though. In hindsight, I feel like I should have paid more for the Standard, which is chambered as opposed weight-relieved. But I'm still happy with the guitar and it will always be part of my collection.

I can?t say like some others here that I have lots of Customs and a couple of Les Paul Supremes, etc.  My other Les Paul is an cherry-stained Studio for cheap and boy does it put out one *hell* of a sound!  But with this Traditional guitar, you feel you?ve arrived.  It is a marvelous, serious, value-for-money powerhouse.  You look at videos of guys playing and think, ?I?ve got one of them.?  The 57s sound wonderful, everything you?d hope for.  It?s not chambered, so it?s a little close to what Les Paul himself had in mind.  Everything about this instrument says ?class.?  Owning one of these is a lifetime achievement.  Do it if you?ve got the bucks ? you will never regret!!

Great, but not perfect.

Overall:
It?s always risky to buy a guitar without playing it.  But, a brand new Gibson should be a safe bet for highest quality.  I told myself that I would send the guitar back if it wasn?t perfect.  So, when I got it out of the box, I looked over every inch and played for hours on every string and fret combination.  The guitar is beautiful, the neck is butter and the tone is Holy Grail.  Almost perfect:  it plays so well that I forgave Gibson for a finish issue (the gold paint was over sprayed beyond the binding around the cutaway).  I?m a little disappointed that I had to break my oath to myself, but you?d have to pry this guitar out of my cold, dead hands for me to give her up (my wife named her ?Lexy?).
