Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the '80s, the Les Paul Traditional Plaintop starts with an unchambered mahogany body like those from the '50s and 60s for a big, beefy tone. The body is capped with a carved maple top, and the hand-fitted neck tenon sports the rounded, 50s-style profile.
Plek system setupThe Les Paul Traditional Plaintop utilizes the revolutionary Plek system. This system uses a computer-controlled setup that carefully measures and dresses each fret, accurately measuring the height between the fingerboard and each string, virtually eliminating string buzz and providing unbeatable playability. Sweetwater knows that a smooth-playing instrument is important to you, and the Plek'd Les Paul traditional plaintop is sure to please.
Powerful, punchy pickupsTwo of Gibson's best-loved humbuckers - a '57 Classic in the neck position, and a '57 Classic Plus in the bridge - give the Traditional the power, punch, and clarity of Gibson's legendary PAF pickups. Other traditional appointments include vintage-style Gibson speed knobs, classic Kluson-style tuners by TonePros, which offer period-correct looks with a higher tuning ratio, and a chrome Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar.
