Gibson's Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune gives you the robust sustain you need for hot liquid solos and massive power chords. What's Gibson's secret? A major part of the Les Paul's tonewood recipe is the fusion of a maple top on a mahogany body. This combination is largely responsible for the legendary Les Paul sound, as well as the LP's reputation for being rather heavy. But fear not! Gibson's modern weight relief has been scientifically applied to this 'Paul, giving you all the sustain, without the pain. Now you can play marathon gigs without next-day visits to the chiropractor. The Gibson Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune - it's what rock dreams are made of.
'57 Classic humbuckers give you amazing tonal versatility, power, and sustainGibson Custom's Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune is fitted with a pair of PAF-style '57 Classic humbuckers. These pickups sport authentic Alnico II magnets and are wound with 42-AWG enamel-coated wire - just like the originals. The coils are wax potted to ward off microphonic squeal, making them the perfect pups for your high-gain excesses. Classically routed through independent volume and tone controls, this dynamic duo serves up articulate, warm voicings from the neck position, soaring liquid bridge tones, and a broad range of sweet crunch in-between. And for the icing on the cake, both these pickups feature push/pull tone controls, which provide coil splitting for real-deal single-coil spank!
Tune faster and more accurately with the Min-ETune auto tuning systemYou'll find Gibson's innovative Min-ETune automatic tuning system on the Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune, which gives you ultra-precise tuning with just one strum on your strings. You've got instant access to 12 factory-preset tunings, with six additional slots to save your own favorites. The Min-ETune system uses a long-lasting lithium ion battery that gives you 80-100 tunings on a single charge. And because the Min-ETune system boasts 40:1 ratio tuners, the tuning accuracy on the Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune is second to none.
SlimTaper neck for uber-playabilityThe Gibson Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s SlimTaper profile. Early Les Paul guitars had huge "tree-trunk" necks, but beginning in 1959, the company began slimming the neck down to a more comfortable size. By 1960, this evolved into a design Gibson called the SlimTaper neck. Varying in thickness only about a tenth of an inch from the first fret out to the twelfth and maintaining a precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio, the SlimTaper neck promoted playing speed while reducing player fatigue. Many guitarists consider Gibson's SlimTaper profile neck the most playable Les Paul neck ever made. Whether you're chording down low or riffing up high, the Les Paul Signature T Min-ETune's neck (with its rosewood fingerboard and classic trapezoid inlays) always feels just right!
