Even a traditional manufacturer such as Gibson is willing to try something new; to give established models brand new features suitable for modern guitars.
What's new about the 2015 Gibson line-up?
In 2015 Gibson is giving all Les Paul and SG models (with the exception of the LP Supreme & Derek Truck's SG) the innovative G-Force System which allows the instrument to be automatically and perfectly tuned in seconds. It has been simplified and its functions enhanced over the preceding Min-ETune system. It also allows for open and drop tunings, as well as giving you possibility to program your own custom tunings.
Quick action adjustments with Gibson's new Zero Fret-Nut
An innovative and patent applied for "Zero Fret-Nut" offers two main advantages: 1. The Fret-Nut ensures the open tones as well as played notes to sound more balanced and even. 2. The nut provides action adjustment and thereby guarantees a longer life than other nuts made from bone or plastic.
The hardware includes the new Tune-o-Matic bridge, which weighs less and is easier to adjust. All of the instruments receive a professional setup with PLEK technology, promising the perfect shape of the frets and guaranteeing precise intonation.
When designing the 2015 Les Paul models, Gibson clearly wanted to improve playability and comfort even further. On each side Gibson has made the neck and fretboard wider by .050”. As a result playing bends and vibrato on the outer strings has become much easier and comfortable. Together with the adjustable action of the new Zero Fret nut and the smoother sanded, buffed and oiled fingerboard, the 2015 Gibson line-up is set to deliver the easiest and most comfortable playability.
Optically the Gibson 2015 models are reminiscent of the classics. All Les Paul models are equipped with the traditional Pearl trapeze inlays and possess the “100” logo on the headstock, as well as a hologram of the man himself who founded this successful American guitar manufacturer and is celebrating his 100th birthday this year.
Les Paul Classic 2015
In a way the modernized Gibson 2015 Les Paul Classic solid body electric guitar is a dream come true. Typical maple topped mahogany equipped with Zebra Coil '61 Tribute Humbuckers, delivers thick, sustain rich tone with focused mid frequencies and piercing highs. The Turbo Boost of the Les Paul Classic delivers 15dB of extra gain, while the modern wiring offers coil splitting. The new wider neck and thicker fretboard of the Les Paul Classic combined with the adjustable Zero fret nut delivers extremely comfortable playability together with the Slim Taper neck profile, making bends and vibrato much easier on the outer strings.
