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.

I can't begin to express how much this guitar exceeded my expectations.  Every note that I play on this reminds me of the wonderful person who  invented it and it really brings me a lot of joy. The Goldtop has a  beautiful finish that the pictures on this website doesn't do justice.

This is a top notch guitar

| Review By: Scott Ypma | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

This Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional has all the features I was looking for.

Quality:

The fit and finish is excellent, flawless.  I bought a condition 1 (like new) used instrument from this site.  I pulled a mint condition guitar out of the box when it arrived.  Not a flaw that I can find.  The action was very playable out of the box.  The pickups go from nice and clean to very rude!

 

This guitar sounds great with my amplifiers and effects:

 

Carvin Vintage16

Crate V50

Laney Pro 100 head/4x12 cab

 

VOX wah

TS808 Tube Screamer

MXR Carbon Copy

Value:

I can't really put a price on a high quality instrument.  When you find one that's special, it is priceless.

Overall:

Having this guitar for only a short time has brought back a lot of joy in playing.  This guitar sounds and feels right when I play it...amazing how that helps when working on new material.  The first time I plugged it in, it sounded great without any changes to my amp and effect settings.

 

Thank you, Musician's Friend, this was an excellent purchase.

Awww, Let's Rock...

| Review By: Paul Williamson | 2 months, 5 days ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

All the tonal goodness anyone would want from a Lester. The PAF's are loud and raunchy if you want that, or tone 'em down for some clean Bluesey action.

Quality:

For a "used" model, about all I noticed was the plastic wasn't on the pickguard. Otherwise, extremely well built as one would expect of a 2 grand guitar.

Value:

Saved a bit by getting a Mint Condition Used Model. No regrets!

Overall:

Overall. extemely happy with my first Lester. I have an SRV Strat, An American Tele, and a 61 Reissue SG, and I usually pick up the Lester to play first because it sounds so good, and the playabilty is JUST AWESOME with the Plek Setup. Just makes a huge difference -- you almost don't even have to press down much to fret it -- super good action.

Great guitar, but heavy!

| Review By: sore fingers | 4 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 2 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.
