Electric guitar with curly maple top and Burstbucker Pro pickups, including Gibson shaped case
With the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 T Bourbon Burst, Gibson presents the flagship of the current model year. Equipped with a solid curly maple top and the classic mahogany construction including Ultra Modern Weight Relief, the electric guitar delivers the classic Les Paul sound without becoming too heavy. The "Slim Taper" neck with compound radius fingerboard offers a high playing comfort with classical and modern playing techniques. Thanks to Burstbucker Pro humbuckers the guitar convinces with a versatile sound spectrum between vintage and modern. High-quality hardware in the form of Grover Locking Rotomatics, Tune-O-Matic and Stopbar made of aluminium round off the equipment of the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 T in a harmonious way.
The driving force behind the Gibson USA line-up: The Les Paul Standard.
Typical Les Paul feeling with modern appointments
With its classic singlecut design, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 T has the typical Les Paul feeling, while the ultra-modern weight relief reduces the weight of the mahogany body from a comfortable level. Furthermore, the neck with the slim taper profile nestles comfortably in the hand, while on the fretboard with compound radius complex chords as well as virtuoso solos can be easily handled.
Versatile sound with vintage character
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 T's electric tone conversion is done by two Gibson Burstbucker Pro pickups in the neck and bridge position, which convince with their versatile sound without denying their PAF genes of the golden era. Accordingly, both classical and modern timbres are available, which breathe life into every solo and riff played with airy articulation and warm singing voice. The pickups are managed via the classic circuit with 3-way toggle and individual volume and tone controls.
Gibson's Les Paul Standard 2017 T comes in a sturdy hardshell case.
Perfectly matched hardware
The hardware is perfectly matched to the Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 T with a traditional look and contemporary functionality. The strings are held on the body by an aluminium tailpiece and guided over a Tune-O-Matic bridge, which ensures precise adjustment of intonation and string position. From there the strings are led over the neck, where they first meet the traditional nylon saddle and then the Grover Locking tuners. They promise a precise and stable tuning, while at the same time making string changes much easier.

Good product exactly as described and expected. Arrived early but would suggest allowing a little more flexibility with delivery either to a workplace or at weekends to avoid inconvenience, even if it means a small surcharge.
