Gibson's Les Paul Standard 2013 gives you the robust sustain you need for hot liquid solos and massive power chords. What's Gibson's secret? A major part of the Les Paul's tonewood recipe is the fusion of a AA figured maple top on a mahogany body. This combination is largely responsible for the legendary Les Paul sound, as well the LP's reputation for being rather heavy. But fear not! Modern weight relief has been scientifically applied to the Les Paul Standard 2013, giving you all the sustain, without the shoulder pain.
'60s neck profile with compound radius fingerboardMany guitarists consider Gibson's Slim Taper neck the most playable Les Paul neck ever made. On the Les Paul Standard 2013, it's joined by a compound radius rosewood 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.
BurstBucker pickups deliver that timeless PAF humbucker toneWhen it comes to capturing that classic Les Paul tone, nothing beats the sound of the Les Paul Standard 2013's BurstBucker pickups. You'll love how your guitar amplifier responds to 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! That's because Gibson designed their BurstBucker pickups to re-create the sound of the original PAF humbuckers to perfection.
