A Great Look On A Classic Les Paul!

The Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded is a great looking variation one of the most-played guitars in the world, and it's back with a sweet Ebony Stain finish. Ever since its introduction in 1952, the Les Paul has had an impact on both guitar players and on music itself. What started out as Gibson's answer to the introduction of solidbody guitars in 1950, turned out to be perhaps the most influential of them all. What started out as a simple gold-top guitar has turned into a veritable rainbow of colors, in configurations to meet everyone's needs, wants and yes, even budget. You have a Western maple top over a chambered mahogany body, a '50s neck profile with rosewood fingerboard and two screaming Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups. The Les Paul Studio Faded is a performing guitarist's dream come true.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded at a Glance:
  • Western maple top in Ebony Stain finish over a mahogany body
  • LP rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard
  • Two Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups
Western maple top in Ebony Stain finish over a mahogany body

The Gibson Les Paul has seen an array of finishes and tops over the years while maintaining the classic look and sound. This Les Paul Studio Faded features an Ebony Stain finish on the Western maple top, and a chambered mahogany body for lower weight - no more shoulder strain!

LP rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard

The first Les Pauls had huge necks. This Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded has the '50s neck profile, which strikes a great balance between the classic feel of a larger neck with the faster playability of a rounded profile.

Two Burstbucker Pro Humbucking Pickups

Look, when you're talking about a Les Paul, you're talking about that big, fat, smoky humbucker sound. This Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded sports dual Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups for the classic tone you crave. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - this Les Paul has the classic sounds you want and expect from a Gibson.

Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded Features:
  • Western maple top over a chambered mahogany body serve up sweet tones
  • "Modern" weight-relieved mahogany body reduces weight while maintaining sustain
  • Rosewood fingerboard
  • Dual Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups for that classic Les Paul sound
