The Cadillac of 2015 Gibson Guitars
The cream of the crop, Gibson's 2015 Les Paul Supreme offers you top-shelf features, appointments, and tonewoods, making it a prefect centerpiece of any serious guitarist's collection. Topped with AAAA figured maple, the Les Paul Supreme's heavily chambered mahogany body strikes an ideal balance between solidbody sustain and hollowbody resonance. A pair of pickups including a floating humbucker at the neck and a 492T at the bridge make the most of these acoustics, while an extra-wide fretboard on a comfortable asymmetrical neck profile gives you the elegant look of real mother-of-pearl crown inlays. And that's just the beginning.

- Gibson's 2015 updates offer enhanced playability and customization
Most extremely high-end electric guitars that boast premium famed or quilted maple tops come outfitted with AAA-grade maple. That's what Gibson chose for the back of the Les Paul Supreme. That's right - for the top of the guitar (the part your audience will actually see), nothing but top-quality AAAA maple would do. When you see the vivid, almost three-dimensional striping leap to life in front of your eyes, you'll hardly believe what you're seeing. Of course, run-of-the-mill hardware just wasn't going to cut it either, so Gibson outfitted the 2015 Les Paul Supreme with all gold hardware and the topped it off with real mother-of-pearl crown fretboard inlays, too, just for good measure.
Effortlessly switch styles with this awesome set of humbucking pickupsA tried-and-true pickup combination, Gibson equipped the 2015 Les Paul Supreme with a floating humbucker at the neck and a covered 492T at the bridge. This combination appealed to a wide range of guitarists here at Sweetwater when we got a preview of the '15 Les Paul Supreme, and we think you'll dig it too. Sonically, the floating humbucker sits somewhere between a Firebird and a mini-humbucker, giving you incredible clarity and definition with an acoustic-like vibe. It really shines when you play tight jazzy chords and adds a bit of jangle to strummed playing. Back at the bridge, there's a 492T, whose hotter output and pronounced midrange bite really flesh out your tone.
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 Supreme 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 Supreme'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 Supreme plays like a well-worn classic, thanks to a new PLEK process and a new lower fret wire.
