description

This Les Paul Classic 2017 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.


The Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T solidbody electric guitar boasts all the features and design elements that have made the Les Paul one of the most beloved electric guitar designs in history. The single-cutaway body sings with the familiar balance of mahogany's warmth and maple's clear sustain. Like many LPs through the years, the body has been weight-relieved to provide extra comfort. And the mahogany and rosewood neck is carved to Gibson's popular SlimTaper profile that delivers during chording or single-note runs.


Gibson voiced their Les Paul Classic 2017 T solidbody electric guitar to effortlessly achieve the clear and powerful tones of highly sought vintage instruments. The acoustic voice of the tonewood combination imbues the plugged-in tone with sustain, thickness, and the perfect amount of cut. These tones are further enhanced by a Gibson '57 Classic bridge humbucker and '57 Classic Plus neck humbucker. The electronics package also features orange drop capacitors, which are extremely popular for getting the most versatility and clarity from your guitar.


While the majority of the Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T solidbody electric guitar features are aimed at re-creating the best aspects of vintage instruments, Gibson loaded these models with a few additions that prepare them for the demands of the modern musician. The most popular upgrade is the rolled fretboard and binding edges. You'll immediately notice how much more effortless moving up and down the neck feels. And a set of locking Grover tuners ensures your performances are free from any tuning issues.
