Play Buckethead's Sonic Assault Weapon!

A unique, shred-ready Les Paul! The Buckethead Les Paul Studio solidbody electric guitar delivers the same tonal weaponry the enigmatic and unorthodox shredder prefers. Best known for his extensive solo work and membership in Guns N' Roses and the supergroup Praxis, Buckethead's unique style has extended into the very build of this oversized Les Paul. The most apparent modification to its stunning body is the addition of a pair of red "arcade"-style kill switches that mute the Buckethead Les Paul Studio's output. Add the super-sized scale length and the hot pickups, and the Buckethead Les Paul Studio makes perfect shredding guitar.

Gibson Buckethead Les Paul Studio Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Signature Buckethead style
  
• Buckethead specified neck and body
  
• Select woods for killer tone

Signature Buckethead style
Though the bucket and the mask hide his face, Buckethead's identity comes completely through his mind-bending fretboard wizardry. Gibson built the Buckethead Les Paul Studio to give you access to the same amazing 6-string vehicle this warped genius prefers - from the oversized body to the extended scale to the very cool arcade-style kill switches. A smoldering pair of humbucking pickups ensure that your amp feels the heat coming off of this blazing axe.

Buckethead specified neck and body
At first glance, the Buckethead Signature Les Paul looks like a somewhat modified Les Paul. However, Gibson designed the Buckethead Les Paul Studio's body and neck to accommodate Buckethead's size and playing style by building them to an oversized scale. Unlike the typical 24.75" scale, this axe's neck is a massive 27"! That means that it is both well suited for players with large hands and those who can appreciate the extra space on the high frets for serious shredding. Also, the neck shape itself is built to Buckethead's specifications, for extra speed and comfort. That means you get all the fretboard space you need to tear it up. And to accommodate the slightly heavier body style, the mahogany back is chambered, which also adds extra resonance to the Buckethead Les Paul Studio.

Select woods for killer tone
The Buckethead Les Paul Studio's body woods present a combination of good clarity, definition and treble bite from the maple, and excellent depth and richness from the mahogany, elements found in the classic Les Paul Standard tone. The chambering adds a further dimension, increasing the complexity of this guitar's tone, while also increasing its acoustic volume.
