Overview

A 40th Anniversary version of an iconic guitar

In 1979, Gibson introduced The Paul, a stripped-down, walnut-bodied version of their iconic single-cutaway electric guitar. With its understated, organic looks and affordable price point, it was the choice of many aspiring rockers and has become a desired collectible. Now, 40 years later, The Paul returns, bringing back the vibe and the sound, ready to add to your collection. The walnut body and neck bring a unique resonance, accentuated by Gibson's 490 and 498 humbuckers. The warmth and punch of the tone is palpable, and the laid-back look helps keep the focus on you and your music. Includes hard case.
