Gibson 2012 Les Paul Standard Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

• Classic combination of a mahogany body and maple top
  
• Compound radius fretboard
  
• BurstBucker pickups deliver that timeless PAF humbucker tone

"Modern" weight-relieved mahogany body
To give the 2012 Les Paul Standard a rich sound without excessive weight, Gibson began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with a select maple top. The Les Paul Standard's mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple top. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound.

Compound radius fretboard
The 2012 Les Paul Standard features a 10"-16" compound radius fretboard for ultimate playability. The fingerboard is rounder near the nut for easy chord-grabbing and rhythm playing. As your playing heats up and moves up the fretboard, the radius flattens out for easier runs and big, big string bends. With a neck that plays this slick, you'll be up at the highest frets before you know it.

BurstBucker pickups deliver that timeless PAF humbucker tone
When it comes to capturing that classic Les Paul tone, nothing beats the sound of the 2012 Les Paul Standard's BurstBucker pickups. You'll love the tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs you'll get out of these pickups - it's everything you expect when you pick up a Les Paul! And for more tonal flexibility than ever, the 2012 Les Paul Standard sports coil-tapping electronics that let you select from single-coil or humbucking tones - you can even reverse the phase of the neck pickup for even more mojo.
