The Gibson Les Paul Futura lifts the classic Singlecut design into modern application areas and comes with some useful innovations in terms of electronics, pickups and Hardware equipment. First, the Les Paul Futura 2014 with a " Modern " Weight Relief mahogany body brings less weight to the scales and also provides better resonance and a more balanced balance point on the harness. The use of GraphTech saddles and a specially treated waistband wire, which is now even more resistant to wear and corrosion, makes it Instrument much more resistant to play marks and natural wear.
On the neck comes for the first time the Gibson P-90H Sidewinder Humbucker The construction with side-wound coils combines the strengths of the Humbucker with the striking P-90 profile. Strong Bridge sounds are finally converted by the Gibson Burstbucker 3 Steghumbucker with Alnico II magnets. In addition, the pickups can be split using push/pull volume potentiometers, while a built-in 15 dB Boost provides more steam if necessary!
Amazing guitar with coilsplitting funcions and boost. You can create almost all sounds a guitarist needs on this Les Paul.
The E-tune systeme works very fine and is a bonus.
Beautiful looking guitar with great sound. The price was excellent and very competetive. However, the fretting at the bottom end is protruding slightly whereby as I change chords by moving my left hand across the fret-neck, I feel my inner finger touching the fret bars as if they needed grinding to stop cutting into my inner part of my fingers. Nothwithstanding that, it is a great guitar with Min-E-Tune system that gives me the ease of tuning this electric guitar, as I am not a MARK KNOPFLER or ERIC CLAPTON when it comes to tuning a guitar on stage. lol.
