Gibson's Les Paul Traditional 12-string is going to turn some heads. And some ears. You just don't see 12-string Pauls that much (if at all). From Slash to Al Dimeola, the Les Paul has defined fat, snarling, guitar tone. Add another six strings, and you can define your own signature sound. If you're in the market for a 12-string electric, take the stage with an instant classic - the Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string.

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes - standard back in the day - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a well-aged classic.

This Gibson Les Paul Traditional 12-string is fitted with a pair of Gibson's 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.
