The iconic Les Paul is celebrated by the world’s greatest musicians as the standard for perfection in the world of electric guitars.
This is the 2018 Gibson Les Paul Faded electric guitar. It features a modern Slim Taper neck profile with Ultra-Modern weight relief for increased comfort and playability. The core attributes that have made the Les Paul the legend that it is are here in spades. A 1/2″ carved Maple cap on a Mahogany body, a Maple neck with the highly desirable 60’s slim taper profile and premium Rosewood fretboard along with a pair of PAF inspired Gibson humbucking pickups. The 22 medium jumbo frets have been cryogenically treated to make them ultra-hard extending their life and enhancing tone.
The faded cherry gloss nitro finish looks superb. Your brand new Gibson Les Paul Faded electric guitar has also undergone a complete PRO-SCM setup. The fretboard has been oiled to bring out the gorgeous hues of the Rosewood. Frets have had their ends hand rolled and then polished to a mirror like sheen. The feel in your hands – especially when string bending is gloriously smooth and slinky. String height at the nut, 22nd fret and bridge have all been adjusted as well as intonation for a sublime playing experience. This is a southcoastmusic Gibson Les Paul.
A redesigned Gibson Gig Bag offers excellent protection, especially for musicians on the move.
This could be your last chance to buy this future classic – the Aussie dollar is on the decline which only means one thing – new imports from the USA will be more expensive.
