A gigging musician's Trad Pro II with '60s slim-tapered neck, coil-split humbuckers, boost circuit and an exclusive finish.
Looking for a great Les Paul in a finish you won't find anywhere else? Here it is in "Iced Tea."
Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the '80s and '90s, the Les Paul Traditional Pro II features powerful pickups with push/push for coil splits and boost circuit, '60s neck profile, Grover locking tuners, antique binding, period-correct pickguard, vintage Gibson top hat knobs, and the revolutionary Plek set up.
With all the fat, sweet, snarling Les Paul tone that purists love, the new Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional Pro II sports a mahogany body with a thick maple cap for the perfect blend of warmth and clarity. The top is finished in high-gloss lacquer, while the back, sides, and neck have a smooth satin finish that feels great and lets the wood resonate fully. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson USA's standard black snakeskin case.
Period-Correct Pickguard
The creme-colored pickguard has been a Les Paul staple dating back to the models of the late 1950s and the early 1960s. Many players, however, removed the pickguard from their Les Pauls to show off the beauty of the flame maple tops, prompting Gibson to stop installing the pickguard altogether. During the 1980s and 1990s, Gibson began reinstalling the pickguard in the factory, and the Les Pauls from this era once again arrived in stores bearing the classic, creme-colored pickguard. The Les Paul Traditional comes equipped with a period-correct pickguard, designed to protect the maple top.
Pickups: Neck - '57 Classic; Bridge - Super '57
Among the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their productions—1955 to 1961—Gibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone. The '57 Classic and Super '57 pickups are the result of Gibson's drive to capture and recreate this characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the '57 Classic at the neck provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. The Super '57 bridge pickup debuts in the Trad Pro with a wider frequency response and increased output.
Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, 2-conductor braided wiring. Gibson added poly-coated wiring, which improves consistency by eliminating thick or thin spots on the wiring, and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.
Both pickups offer coil splitting for single-coil sounds and a boost circuit via push/push switching in the volume controls. “Straight Split” coil-splitting offers pure single coil tone and differs from LP Standards and Studios that have a “Super Tap” coil-tap, which still has a small amount of humbucking. The boost circuit has a user-adjustable 10-dB boost for added power and frequency range for solos, single-note picking and dirty chording (depending on amp settings) and features true bypass that disengages the boost completely, ensuring pure passive Les Paul tone.
Revolutionary Plek Set Up
The Les Paul Traditional is the first model from Gibson USA to utilize the revolutionary Plek machine in setting up the guitar. The Plek is a German-made, computer-controlled machine that carefully measures each fret, along with the fingerboard height under each string, and then automatically dresses each fret, virtually eliminating string buzz and greatly improving the overall playability of the guitar. This pioneering process does in minutes what it takes a luthier several hours—sometimes even days—to accomplish. Every fret is accurately aligned, and the guitar is properly intonated, leaving the instrument "Plek'd" and amazingly playable.
Antique Binding
To see the process of putting the binding on the Les Paul Traditional is to really appreciate the effort and attention that Gibson puts into each instrument. A lone craftsman will carefully glue and fit 2 pieces of binding around the entire body of a Les Paul. He then winds a single, very long piece of narrow cloth around the entire body until the entire surface is nearly covered. The body is then hung to dry for a full 24 hours before it is unwrapped and moved into the next phase of production. It has been done the same way for over 100 years. Some question the value of adding binding, but Gibson believes it is a fundamental part of our rich guitar-making history. The binding adds elegance to the Les Paul Standard, and helps protect the edges of the body. The neck binding is installed over the fret ends, which eliminates sharp fret edges and provides for a smooth neck and easier playability.

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro II '60s Neck Electric Guitar:
Set up was fantastic, playable as soon as I took it out of the box. The 60's neck is just out of sight for useability and comfort. The Ice tea finish is exactly what I was looking for. The pickups give me a variety of sound from blues to hard rock without the use of a pedal on my marshall amp. Overall a tremendous guitar. I get lots of comments from other guitar players on the look and the sound. I love it!!!!

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro II '60s Neck Electric Guitar:
I'm a middle aged man with 30+years experience and this is my first product review ever. After reading the first review I had to give my opinion.
First of all the plek setup was incredibly playable out of the box. I just had to personalize it by taking a little relief out of the neck and lowering the action some. The '57 neck pickup is jazz smooth clean or with some dirt as classic rock as anything I have ever heard. The new super '57 bridge is articulate and clear but has enough power that I no longer need my distortion pedal on all but the most hardcore metal running through my Marshall tube amp. The boost circuit is adjustable for output and does away with the need for another pedal. Best of all, when it's turned off, it's completely out of the tone signal for true tone. The coil splitting(unlike other L.Ps) is actually setup to be a true to life splitting like we modders have been doing for years. Now remember,with true single coil sound you could also have some noise from flourescent lights etc.(I had no problem)and slightly less output than a humbucker and that's why manufacturers leak some humbucking into the split coil wiring. But this is a truly professional guitar and the more experienced guitarist will know this and appreciate the tone. IMO The locking tuners are great and should be standard on any Gibson that isn't trying to look historic. My "plain top"even has beautiful flame that is sometimes subtle and sometimes showy depending on the light. I was a little undecided on the iced tea finish because I had an '08 standard in that finish and it was a little meh...but this is just lively enough for me. This 60's neck is the closest I have found to my favorite all-time neck on the '61 SG reissue and it may now even be my favorite.
I just have to say that I have owned probably dozens of gibsons and over a dozen L.Ps alone and this was the best out of box experience I had and the only one I have no modding plans for other than strap locks....very very pleased.
