Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Traditional electric guitar in Chicago Blue finish. Made in the USA in 2011, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a weight-relieved Mahogany body with AA Flamed Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Nashville T-O-M bridge & StopBar tailpiece and a set of Kluson Deluxe tuning machines with 'Tulip' style buttons. A pair of Gibson humbucking pickups are installed, with a '57 Classic in the neck and '57 Classic + in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way toggle switch, and independent volume & tone controls. The Mahogany neck plays beautifully, with a profile which might be described as a moderately-sized 'C' shape, which offers comfortable playability and easy reach across the register. The gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 24.75" scale length, whilst the single cutaway body design ensures easy access to the upper frets. The Rosewood of the fretboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its traditional 12" radius is practical for a wide range of playing styles and techniques. With a weight relief, the body feels comfortable in the arms and is easier on the shoulders at 8.8lbs whilst retaining enough weight to feel authentically 'Les Paul'. The pair of Gibson humbucking pickups installed in this guitar deliver thick and full-bodied tones, exemplifying the rock and blues tones that the Les Paul has long been renowned for. The neck position is warm and round, with plenty of power for pushing your lead lines and solos to the front of the mix. The '57 Classic Plus in the bridge is of course brighter, perfect for rock rhythm parts and riffing because it can handle a serious amount of gain. There is all of the snarl and bite that we associate with rockin' Les Paul tones, yet at the same time definition and clarity is retained. The pickups clean up nicely too, with shimmering clean sounds ready for the softer sections of the set. The traditional Les Paul controls are as versatile as ever, offering comprehensive control of your sound right on the guitar.
