Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the 80s and 90s, the Les Paul Traditional starts with an un chambered mahogany body with traditional weight relief holes for a beefy tone that maintains the resonance of modern Les Pauls. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson USAs standard black snakeskin case.Weight relieved Mahogany BodySatisfying the call in the early 1980s to make a lighter Les Paul, Gibson engineers came up with the idea of placing strategically routed holes in the

About Gibson Les Paul Traditional




Gibson Les Paul Traditional by Guitar Center - 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.
