Gibson LPJ Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Classic Les Paul tones from choice tonewoods
  • High-output humbuckers deliver solid Les Paul sound
  • Black hardware gives this guitar a unique look

Classic guitar tones from choice tonewoods
The Gibson LPJ serves up fat guitar tones thanks to its mahogany body. The carved maple cap provides the perfect amount of aggression and bite to this extremely playable guitar. You'll find the maple neck's '50s rounded profile to be the perfect combination of chunk and comfort. Classic trapezoid inlays in the rosewood fretboard give the Gibson LPJ an unmistakable look. This guitar serves up serious tone and killer playability.

High-output humbuckers deliver solid Les Paul sound
To capture the classic Les Paul sound, Gibson decided to give the LPJ a pair of classic-style humbuckers, including a 490R at the neck and a 498T at the bridge. These pickups capture the sound of traditional 1950s PAFs tweaked to bring out more midrange snarl. Together with the LPJ's mahogany body, this pair of humbuckers gives you a tone that was born to rock.

Black hardware gives this guitar a unique look
The Gibson LPJ offers a look that is different from other Les Pauls. Black pickup covers, tuner button, and control knobs give this guitar a sleek look that means business. If you're not into the chrome or gold look, the Gibson LPJ is the perfect alternative. The lack of a pickguard also make this guitar stand out from the crowd. If you like to buck the norm, but still want killer tones and playability, the Gibson LPJ is for you.

Gibson LPJ Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • An affordable Les Paul with great tone and feel
  • High-output Gibson humbuckers deliver solid Les Paul sound
  • Traditional weight-relieved mahogany body and carved maple top
  • Comfortable '50s rounded profile maple neck with rosewood fretboard
  • Includes a premium gig bag to protect your guitar

The Gibson LPJ is an affordable guitar that's ready to rock!

Gibson Les Paul LPJ is a tone machine, a great value!

If you need a guitar that can cover anything from country to metal, this one will do it. I needed a guitar that was simple, tonefull, and versatile. It did not dissapoint. Combined with my Krank, t... read more [+]he pickups are fine for getting saturation and harmonics. Also works really well with any EL34 based-amps I have tried. Gibson did well introducing this product-it seems very solid, and has the quality you would expect for an American-made instrument. close [-]

Outstanding Instrument at any price!!

After playing one of these LPJ's, I was truly amazed at not only how sharp they look with the Black Hardware and genuine(also Black Knobbed), Klusons but how versatile the tone is. With the new Maple ... read more [+]Neck addition on an Instrument widely known for its darker tone which is also attributed to the Mahogany neck and 24.75" scale length of the Les Pauls as we know them, this is an excellent idea. It may also be a way for Gibson to rid themselves of all the surplus Maple they have in stock from their "Baked Maple" instead of Indian Rosewood vs.USA Justice Dept. debacle? Very well done overall and anyone who says these are ugly definitely needs to make an appt. with their Optometrist asap... close [-]

CANT DESCRIBE THE QUALITY FOR THE MONEY

by CHRIS ANDERSON from Lake,MS

Music Background: 13 years, singer, songwriter
I bought this specifically because it had the faded worn look that I wanted and the price was so much below the studio. These are the same pickups (490, 498) that are in the studio. They are VERY hot ... read more [+]pickups. This thing is USA made with Kluson tuners and real pickups for $700 !!!!!!!!
I am playing it through the Marshall DSL40C and a VOX lil' nightrain for practice.
If you want to pay a whole lot more for the laquer finish Les paul's, that is great but mechanically, this guitar is the same.
