Classic Gibson Design
Part of Gibson’s Original Collection, this model reflects the look and feel of early Les Paul designs. It features a solid mahogany body with a maple top for warmth and clarity. Moreover, the satin nitrocellulose finish gives the guitar a natural feel and a vintage-inspired appearance.

Furthermore, the Burstbucker pickups deliver dynamic, vintage-style tones with excellent articulation. The hand-wired controls respond with precision and preserve tonal detail. As a result, players can shape expressive sounds for both rhythm and lead work.
The satin finish also improves comfort by creating a smoother, less sticky neck feel.
