An Old School LP with Jaw-dropping Upgrades
Traditionally, the Les Paul was a big, thick, massy guitar with a neck you could really dig into and a body that sustained for eons. This Les Paul Traditional gives you all of that, including hauntingly accurate tone, plus all of the perks that make Gibson's 2015 lineup too cool to pass up. We're talking about an unchambered mahogany body topped with figured maple, a late-'50s rounded neck, a pair of extremely cool '59 Tribute humbuckers, Gibson's new adjustable Zero Fret Nut, an extra-wide fingerboard, G-Force robot tuning, and more.
Gibson 2015 Les Paul Traditional Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:- '59 Tribute humbuckers deliver freakishly accurate Les Paul sound
- G-Force automatic tuning system delivers perfect intonation and more
- Gibson's 2015 updates offer enhanced playability and customization
It doesn't get much more traditional than the 1959 Les Paul, which is why Gibson went back to this ionic model to develop a pair of pickups that sound as close to the originals as it gets. These '59 Tribute humbuckers give your 2015 Les Paul Traditional a decidedly warm sound with the kind of depth and clarity you'll only get from choice Alnico II magnets. When you combine that unique character with a solid Les Paul body, it's like stepping into a time machine.
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 Traditional solidbody electric guitar with a single strum, but you can also make use of alternate tunings without having to retune or switch guitars. When they showed off this updated robot tuning system here at Sweetwater, we were particularly impressed by the way you can 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 2015 updates offer enhanced playability and customizationComfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing this 2015 Les Paul Traditional 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 Traditional's silky-smooth fretboard, it's now sanded and buffed to perfection with an all-new oil treatment, an amazingly smooth feel for faster players. 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. The Gibson Les Paul Traditional plays like a well-worn classic, thanks to a new PLEK process and a new lower fret wire.
