Description
Model: Les Paul Studio Faded Brand: Gibson


Immaculate condition les Paul - listed as new other as it has only been played once and that was strumming. Comes with gig bag which is the Gibson one and has a soft padded lining. It was bought in November so is only a few weeks old- unable to return to the shop as I no longer have the original box but it will be shipped in its gig bag in a fender box for stability. And now for the technical stuff...... Traditional tuners Historical original neck width TekToid nut width Classic Les Paul neck heel Rounded '59 neck profile Carved maple top Mahogany body Mahogany neck Modern weight relief Burstbucker Pro pickups Rosewood fingerboard Worn satin finish 1.695" nut width 22 frets 24.75" scale length Trapezoid inlays The Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded is one of the more interesting guitars in the 2016 lineup. This is the most stripped down dual humbucker Les Paul model available right now but that does not mean that you are missing out on the feel or sound of an amazing Les Paul. With a slightly more simple built but similar hardware to what is on much higher end models the value for money with this guitar is incredible. If you want to get your hands on a Les Paul without having to break the bank this is really worth a good look. Faded Finish, Quality Build As part of the faded finish series of guitars from Gibson this guitar has its own feel and look that can only be found on this line. While higher end Les Paul guitars use a gloss nitrocellulose finish that is very expensive but looks amazing. This guitar instead uses a worn in satin finish for both the body and neck. How does this affect the feel and sound- Well by using the satin finish you get a more natural feeling and sounding instrument has the ability to resonate and sustain more. It also gives you a somewhat smoother and less sticky feeling on the back of the neck. Glossy finishes will sometimes cause your hand to stick especially if you sweat a lot while playing.
