With two Gibson `57 Classic humbuckers, the Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T delivers powerful sounds.
Proven construction with classic playing comfort
The Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T Lefthand is built according to plans established as early as 1952 and accordingly has a mahogany body with solid maple top and a glued mahogany neck, which together provide the basis for the singing Les Paul Sound. For added comfort when playing the electric guitar, the body also features the traditional 9 Hole Weigh Relief for weight reduction, while the neck's slim taper profile makes it easy to handle any chord and melody.
The Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T Lefthand is delivered in a Gibson moulded case.
Perfectly matched hardware
The hardware is perfectly matched to the Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T Lefthand and has 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 passed over the neck via the classic 24.75" scale (628 mm), where they first meet the traditional nylon saddle and then the grover locking mechanisms. They promise a precise and stable tuning, while at the same time making string changes much easier.
Powerful humbucker sound
The Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017 T Lefthand is equipped with a Gibson'57 Classic Humbucker on the neck and a Gibson'57 Classic+ Humbucker on the bridge. With a moderate output and classic alnico magnets, they deliver a warm, powerful humbucker sound on the amplifier, which is perfect for bluesy licks on bursting overdrive or rocky riffs with juicier distortion. The classic circuit with 3-way switches and individual volume and tone controls allows a wide range of different timbres to be called up.
