This 12-string Les Paul is a Must-have!

With the Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string solidbody electric guitar, you can forge new sonic frontiers. Historically, the 12-string LP is a rare beast. When you think about it, though, it's a no-brainer: ringy 12-string chime - and the warm sustain of a mahogany-bodied, maple-topped Paul. Throw in the amazing playability of this LP's bound maple neck, and the tonal attitude of dual '57 Classic humbuckers, and you've got one unique guitar. Here's your chance to grab an instant classic - Gibson's Les Paul Traditional 12-string.

Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Get your hands on this instant classic
  • Nitrocellulose finish, for the look of a well-aged classic
  • '57 Classic humbuckers give you amazing tonal versatility, power, and sustain

Get your hands on this instant classic
Gibson's Les Paul Traditional 12-string is going to turn some heads. And some ears. You just don't see 12-string Pauls that much (if at all). From Slash to Al Dimeola, the Les Paul has defined fat, snarling, guitar tone. Add another six strings, and you can define your own signature sound. If you're in the market for a 12-string electric, take the stage with an instant classic - the Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string.

Nitrocellulose finish, for the look of a well-aged classic
The Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a well-aged classic.

'57 Classic humbuckers give you amazing tonal versatility, power, and sustain
This Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string is fitted with a pair of Gibson's PAF-style '57 Classic humbuckers. These pickups sport authentic Alnico II magnets, and are wound with 42-AWG enamel-coated wire - just like the originals. The coils are wax potted to ward off microphonic squeal, making them the perfect pups for your high-gain excesses. Classically routed through independent volume and tone controls, this dynamic duo serves up articulate, warm voicings from the neck position, soaring liquid bridge tones, and a broad range of sweet crunch in between.

Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Mahogany body with carved maple top:
  • Cream-bound maple neck; '50s rounded profile
  • Rosewood fingerboard; trapezoid inlays
  • Chrome Tune-0-Matic bridge/stoptail; Mini Grover Tuners
  • Humbuckers onboard: '57 Classic (neck); '57 Classic Plus (bridge)
  • Cream pickguard
  • Hardshell case included

Take the stage with a classic: the the Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string!
