Gorgeous Looks, Epic Burstbucker Tone
Gibson saved some of their finest quilted maple for this Les Paul Premium Quilt 2017 solidbody electric guitar. The mahogany body is topped with AAA quilted maple — flip it around, and you'll find AA quilt maple on the back. Rolled binding over the rosewood fretboard creates an amazingly smooth playing experience. Burstbucker humbucking pickups deliver epic tone, and you can't ignore the cool looking chrome UFO knobs with mother-of-pearl inserts. And with only 150 available, the Gibson Les Paul Premium Quilt 2017 is an ideal guitar for collectors.

Top-shelf components for long-term tonal tenacity
The Gibson Les Paul Premium Quilt 2017 packs the standard Les Paul electronics package: two humbuckers, two volume controls, two tone controls, and a three-way pickup selector. Everything is handwired and Orange Drop capacitors are chosen for their consistency and reliability. Factor in the rugged Switchcraft output jack, and the Premium Quilt 2017 is ready to rock for a lifetime.
Pickups deliver true Les Paul tone — and then some
The Les Paul Premium Quilt 2017 features Burstbucker Pro pickups that give you everything you need for iconic Gibson tones. The BurstBucker Pro adds Alnico 5 magnets to the original BurstBucker design, which captured the subtle variations in true humbucker tone thanks to historically accurate "unmatched" bobbins. These pickups sound great clean, or they can be used to push your amp into overdrive for the fat, smoky sound you can only get with a humbucker. All BurstBucker Pro pickups are wax potted to minimize feedback and noise.
"Ultra Modern" weight relief for more comfort and less strain
Your shoulders and back will appreciate the Les Paul Premium Quilt 2017's "Ultra Modern" weight relief. Gibson's weight-relief methods carefully remove mass from the guitar while maintaining the sustain Les Pauls are known for. The Ultra Modern level of weight relief debuts in the 2017 lineup, offering a great solution for guitarists that want to play for hours with less back strain.
