Gibson Les Paul Traditional (2012) (Used)

This 2012 Traditional captures the very soul that made Les Pauls the heart of rock and roll. Built the old-school way with a traditionally weight-relieved mahogany body and a carved maple top, featuring a beautiful, highly figured flame that shifts, pops, and fades from deep, rich edges into a glowing amber center. It skips modern push-pull circuitry in favor of pure, direct expression with a dark rosewood fingerboard, and a pair of ’57 Classic and Classic Plus humbuckers that produce a warm, visceral growl. Anchored by reliable Kluson-style tuners and a rock-solid Tune-O-Matic bridge, what you’ll find is unadulterated, heavy-hitting tone right out of the case.
