Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing this 2015 Les Paul Classic solidbody electric guitar. This guitar's neck and fretboard are .050" wider on each side, making bends and vibrato much easier on its outer strings. Speaking of this Les Paul Classic's silky-smooth fretboard, it's now sanded and buffed to the nth degree and finished with an all-new oil treatment, making it easy for you to display your fast fretwork. Also, Gibson's new patent-pending Zero Fret Nut can be easily adjusted with a hex key if your action is too high - no filing necessary. You'll be amazed at how this guitar's SlimTaper neck profile compensates for its wider dimensions - we're talking uber-comfortable playability!
'57 Classic and Super '57 pickups deliver vintage-tinged humbucker toneTwo of Gibson's best-loved humbuckers - a '57 Classic in the neck position, and a Super '57 in the bridge - give this 2015 Les Paul Classic solidbody electric guitar the power, punch, and clarity of Gibson's legendary PAF pickups. On top of that, this Les Paul Classic's Turbo Boost switch gives you 15dB of extra gain to make your solos sing and sting. If that isn't enough, this Les Paul Classic's modified wiring also offers coil splitting, giving you access to chimey, bell-like single-coil tones with a flick of its mini-toggle switch!
G-Force automatic tuning system delivers perfect intonation - and moreIf you loved Gibson's Min-ETune tuning system, then you'll love their newly-developed G-Force even more. Thanks to G-Force, not only can you tune your 2015 Les Paul Classic solidbody electric guitar with a single strum, but you can also make use of alternate tunings without having to retune or switch guitars. You can also calibrate your guitar to an external source. Say you have a vintage piano that's not quite tuned to A440. Now, thanks to G-Force, the piano and your guitar can play together beautifully with no tuning hassles.
Gibson's four Cs plan ensures top-quality componentsWhen buying diamonds, there are four characteristics that are used to grade or select the stones. These are known as the four Cs: carat, cut, clarity, and color. Gibson has implemented a similar system to grade their guitars' components: weight, top contour, grain structure/purity, and grain figure/depth. By putting this system into action, Gibson can ensure that all of their guitars are built using top-grade materials.
