Gibson Les Paul Traditional - USA 2013

From Gibson –

“The Les Paul Traditional’s tonewood combination retains the great sound of the original Les Paul Standard, with an unchambered back for a thick, meaty tone and superb sustain. Its rounded late-’50s neck shape reflects one of the most popular profiles ever used on a Les Paul. Two PAF-style humbucking pickups with Orange Drop tone capacitors give no end of power and finesse. All this, and the Les Paul Traditional looks outrageous with its Grade-AA figured maple top beneath a high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.”

This guitar was created in Gibson’s Nashville Plant on August 8th, 2013. It has been played lightly and looked after well. It is in excellent condition with just some light scratches on the pickguard and some small faint marks on its back. There is no sign of fret wear, and no tarnishing of the metal parts.

This is an almost new guitar that has been played-in but lived a protected life. It plays great thanks to Gibson’s PLEK setup which has been standard on these guitars for some time.

It has a stunning bookmatched stripey maple top in classic Gibson Cherry Sunburst.  At 9.54 lbs it is solid like a Les Paul should be while not ripping your shoulder off. It is all original, and sounds the business.

Comes with its original Gibson USA case in new condition.
