Item Description
Listed 1 year ago
Les Paul sound, heft, and playability. I had the original "The Paul" back in the 70s and couldn't resist the anniversary edition. Amazing tone, feel...I just don't gig enough anymore to get the use it deserves. It is just like new...no dings, no wear...dead mint.

Matched humbucker set delivers a universe of tone
It just wouldn't be a Les Paul without humbuckers, and The Paul is spec'd with a matched 490/498 set. Naturally, these pickups really shine when pumping out the classic fat, snarling tone that is the Les Paul's stock-in-trade. They are delightfully responsive, though — simply roll back the volume, and they clean up beautifully. Sweetwater guitarists love this pickup combo, and so will you. The electronics setup features the traditional 4-pot configuration, which gives you independent control of each pickup's volume and tone. From jazz and fusion to blues, rock, and country; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — The Paul delivers.
Gibson voiced the pickups on The Paul for tonal characteristics similar to their '57 Classics, but with a slight increase in the upper mids for a more contemporary humbucker sound. The neck-position 490R gives you the tonal characteristics of an original PAF, albeit with a slight upper mid bump, which delivers clarity and definition that complement the wonderfully warm sound of this pickup: great for chimey rhythm work. Gibson's 498T alnico humbucker is the ideal bridge pickup if your playing requires an emphasis on mids and highs. A high-output version of the 490T, this pickup combines a slightly hotter alnico V magnet with a specially wound coil combination. The result is increased crunch and sustain: a potent sonic elixir for heavier music styles. Each pickup's pole pieces are aligned to match the string spacing at the neck and bridge, respectively.
Rounded neck carve and Plek'd frets for optimized playability
Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing The Paul. You'll be delighted at how this guitar's rounded neck profile comfortably fills your hand in just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and the frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own.
Nitro finish, for the look and feel of a classic
The Paul wears a gorgeous satin 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. The Paul has the look and feel of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
