The Gibson Les Paul Standard Figured Faded Tobacco from the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville Tennessee comes with all the features that make up a first-class, traditionally built Les Paul. Accordingly, the Gibson Les Paul Standard has not only a one-piece mahogany body with a chic curly maple top, but also a mahogany neck with long neck tenon and rosewood fingerboard. Two Gibson Custom Bucker amps deliver the legendary vintage humbucker sound that has shaped the immortal evergreens of blues and rock. Traditional hardware features such as Gibson ABR Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stopbar and Kluson Deluxe machine heads complete the Gibson Les Paul Standard Figured.
The construction of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Figured is based on carefully selected woods. Accordingly, the body is made of one piece of mahogany and covered with a two-piece flamed maple top, while the one-piece mahogany neck is glued with Long Neck Tenon. The use of glass hard Hide Glue for the connection of body, top and neck guarantees perfect resonance development with lively attack and even sustain. The well-shaped "1950s Style Les Paul" profile also offers the familiar playing comfort.
The electric tone conversion of the Gibson Les Paul Standard Figured Faded Tobacco is done by two Gibson Custom Buckers in neck and bridge position. Equipped with Alnico III magnets, these humbuckers deliver an authentic vintage sound in the best PAF tradition. Accordingly, each note played is brought to life with an airy attack and a singing mid-spectrum, with the tone shaping in the player's hand. The manually built circuit with 3-way toggle switches as well as individual volume and tone controls for each pickup allow versatile tone colours to be called up.
Last but not least, the Gibson Les Paul Standard Figured convinces with a traditional hardware equipment that pleases with unshakeable reliability. The body is equipped with a Gibson ABR Tune-O-Matic bridge and a stopbar made of aluminium, which ensure not only an exact intonation adjustment, but also a comfortable string position. At the headstock, a nylon saddle guides the strings to the precise Kluson Deluxe tuners.
