From the slab mahogany body to the vintage-inspired Burstbucker pickups, this Gibson Les Paul Traditional T holds its place among some of the greatest guitars on earth. The AA-grade flamed maple top is a real showstopper for live performances. And for studio work, you can't beat the historically hand-wired circuitry residing beneath. Other historical features include vintage-style keystone tuners and a rounded neck profile for Gibson Golden Era performance.
