GIBSON Les Paul Standard Plain Lefthand Top Washed Cherry #87421
Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul left-handed electric guitar with maple top and custom bucker pickups, including hardshell case and certificate
As a true custom shop Paula from the Gibson Nashville Facility, this Gibson Les Paul Standard Lefthand presents a classic feeling, harmonious looks and of course just the right sound for left-handers. High-quality components in the form of selected tone woods, solid hardware from Gibson and Kluson and two custom bucker pickups are used on the Gibson Les Paul Standard Lefthand, while proven design features of a good LP, such as the long neck pin or the use of hot ball glue are used. The Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville provides the Les Paul Standard with its own Gibson Hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity signed by the Custom Shop Manager.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard Plain Top Lefthand delivers the classic Les Paul sound thanks to its traditional construction.
The one-piece mahogany neck of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Plain Top Lefthand is glued with Long Neck Tenon and Hot Hide Glue.
1950s Style Mahogany Neck & Long Neck Tenon
The one-piece mahogany neck of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Lefthand has the medium-thick 1950s style neck profile and evokes the classic'C' feeling with the ideal portion of wood behind the fretboard. Neck and body are connected by a long neck foot (Long Neck Tenon) and glued with hot ball glue to create a firm and resonant connection at the transition. The result is an extremely crisp and direct response with improved sustain characteristics.
Two Gibson Custom Buckers in neck and bridge position of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Plain Top Lefthand deliver authentic vintage sounds.
Custom Bucker Pickups
As the best sounding version of the PAF humbucker, the custom bucker is specially designed for the top-of-the-line solidbody instruments of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville. Its articulative character with the classic Bite, Chime and Growl he gets from an Alnico III magnet and the right number of windings on both coils. Both pickups are of course tuned to each other and can be operated with 3-way toggle switches and separate volume and tone controls.
Kluson Deluxe tuners at the headstock of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Plain Top Lefthand promise a stable tuning.
Kluson Deluxe Green Keys & Gibson ABR
The classic Gibson ABR Tune-o-Matic bridge is responsible for a firm connection between vibrating string and solid mahogany body on the Les Paul Standard. The precisely adjustable bridge has two thumbwheels for adjusting the string height and leads the string to the lightweight aluminium tailpiece. At the other end of the instrument, robust Kluson Deluxe Green Key tuners provide stable tunings and classic looks.
