Up for sale, a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro II in near mint condition and in perfect working order. Weighing only 8lbs 14oz and sporting a Tobacco Sunburst nitro lacquer finish, this Traditional Pro II boasts an impressive array of features, sure to satisfy vintage purists and modern players alike.The Les Paul Traditional Pro II features powerful PAF-style pickups with push/push knobs for coil splits, a Slim Taper '60s neck profile, Grover locking tuners, antique binding, and the revolutionary Plek set up. With all the fat, sweet, snarling Les Paul tone that purists love, the new Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro II sports a mahogany body with a thick maple cap for the perfect blend of warmth and clarity. The top is finished in high-gloss nitro lacquer, while the back, sides, and neck have a smooth satin finish that feels great and lets the wood resonate fully. And in terms of pure visual appeal, the prominent grain on the carved maple top and vibrant two-tone sunburst on this Les Paul make it a real stunner.Among the qualities that make Gibson's original "Patent Applied For" humbucking pickups so unique are the subtle variations between coil windings. For the first few years of their productions—1955 to 1961—Gibson's PAF humbuckers were wound using imprecise machines, resulting in pickups with slightly different output and tone. The '57 Classic and Super '57 pickups are the result of Gibson's drive to capture and recreate this characteristic. Introduced in 1992, the '57 Classic at the neck provides warm, full tone with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch, inspired by those original PAFs that received a few extra turns of wire. The Super '57 bridge pickup debuts in the Trad Pro with a wider frequency response and increased output.Both are made by Gibson to the exact same specs as the original PAFs, including Alnico II magnets, nickel-plated pole pieces, nickel slugs, maple spacers, and vintage-style, 2-conductor braided wiring. Gibson added poly-coated wiring, which improves consistency by eliminating thick or thin spots on the wiring, and wax potting, which removes all internal air space and any chance of microphonic feedback.Both pickups offer coil splitting for single-coil sounds via push/push switching in the volume controls. “Straight Split” coil-splitting offers pure single coil tone and differs from LP Standards and Studios that have a “Super Tap” coil-tap, which still has a small amount of humbucking.Cosmetically, this guitar has been very well cared for since it was new, with virtually no fretwear and barely a scratch on the body. This Les Paul is showroom clean!Features & Specifications:
