Classic Les Paul with Modern Updates
The Gibson Les Paul Classic Player Plus 2018 combines vintage and modern appointments in a classic solidbody electric guitar with a gorgeous figured AA maple top over a non-weight-relieved mahogany back — a combination of tonewoods known for rich, resonant tone and killer sustain. The Les Paul Classic Player Plus also features a pair of P-90 single-coil pickups, legendary for their crisp, warm high and midrange tone and sustain. In addition, traditional switching provides a wide range of classic tone with added punch — ideal for live performance or recording. A bound, rounded-profile mahogany and Richlite fingerboard with Plek'd frets provides instant smooth feel and playability. If you have been wanting classic Les Paul tone, modern playability, and eye-catching appointments, the Gibson Les Paul Classic Player Plus is your guitar.
Rounded neck carve and Plek'd frets for optimized playability
The rounded-C neck profile of the Les Paul is the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. The way it fits comfortably in the hand, balanced, weighted, and shaped in a truly unique way is something players never forget after experiencing it for the first time. Whether you are ripping off dynamic solos or chording up and down the fingerboard, this C-profile neck accommodates your style and exploration. In addition to its profile, the Player Plus also features a 1-piece bound Richlite fingerboard, sanded and buffed to silky smoothness, with no fret ends to impede your dexterity. Finally, the Player Plus neck has been Plek'd, a process that levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing another layer of smooth playability and response. Ask any player here at Sweetwater, and they will tell you this neck is truly one-of-a-kind.
P-90 pickups deliver sweet harmonic complexity and bell-like clarity
Gibson's standard P-90 pickup continues to be a favorite among guitarists looking for that vintage, low-output sound with a mean midrange personality. The Gibson Les Paul Classic Player Plus features two P-90s, one at the neck and one at the bridge. These meaty, versatile pickups coupled with a 3-position toggle and two volume and two tone pots, give you a killer range of sound from thick twang to heavy snarl.
