A Luscious 'Paul with Fetching Curves
The Gibson Custom Less Paul Prototype is your chance to own a one-of-a-kind solidbody electric guitar. Essentially a 1959 LP with Burst Bucker 1 and 2 pickups, a '59 neck profile, and a luscious book-matched flame maple top, the Less Paul Prototype has been hand-carved by master luthier Bruce Kunkel on the back and neck. The guitar's name is a cheeky reference to the fact that there's "less" mahogany, and indeed the slinky contours fit you like a glove. Gibson's Custom Shop rarely sells a prototype, making the Less Paul Prototype an extremely collectable guitar.

BurstBucker dynamic duo onboardYou want fat, snarling tone? How about delicate and detailed? The Gibson Custom Less Paul Prototype does it all. Whether you're delivering your musical message with mellow chorused jazz tones - or a blistering liquid inferno - this Paul rewards your touch with world-class responsiveness, courtesy of its genuine Gibson BurstBucker 1 and 2 pickups. The Less Paul Prototype has the juice to take your music wherever it wants to go.
Real-deal nitrocellulose lacquer finishThe Gibson Less Paul Prototype wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the guitar a timeless, classic look. 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 - so your Less Paul Prototype sounds every bit as wicked as it looks!
