The Grade-AA figured maple top looks great beneath your choice of Translucent Ebony, Alpine White Burst, Wine Red, or Vintage Sunburst finish, all in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Or select a classic Goldtop finish. The Les Paul Signature "T" is available in a left-handed model, and you can add extra class to this tribute to the man himself by opting for the Les Paul Signature "T" Gold Series, with the elegance of gold-plated hardware. Models with Min-ETune Option Available To kick it all into the 21st century--and remember, Les Paul was an innovator first and foremost--the Les Paul Signature "T" is also available with optional Min-ETune automated "robot" tuning, which can be added to your guitar with no internal modification for a nominal upcharge. Sound Born of a Legendary Tradition The Les Paul Signature "T" is built on a foundation of the same traditional tonewood combination that helped to make the Les Paul Standard legendary when it first arrived six decades ago. A carved solid Grade-AA figured maple top lends bite and articulation to the sound, while a select Genuine Mahogany back--treated with Gibson's traditional weight relief to increase playing comfort and enhance resonance--contributes superb warmth and depth. A solid, quarter-sawn Genuine Mahogany neck is glued in and carved in the fast 60s SlimTaper profile, and topped with a rich brown Grade-A Granadillo fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays. Traditional touches include cream body and fingerboard binding, pickguard, and pickup rings, along with gold Speed Knobs and a black "bell" truss-rod cover with commemorative "T" engraving. Classic Gibson construction ensures optimum playability, too, along with traditional specs like a 24-3/4" scale length, a 1-11/16" width across the PLEK-cut Corian nut, and a 12-inch fingerboard radius for smooth, easy bending. '57 Classic Pickups For a blend of vintage tone and modern versatility, the Les Paul Signature "T" is loaded with a pair of Gibson's '57 Classic pickups, mounted "open coil" for a subtle hotrod look. Both are made in the image of the hallowed Gibson PAF Humbucker pickup of the late 1950s with Alnico II magnets in the neck position for plenty of warmth and clarity, and in the bridge position, the '57 Classic Plus which features slightly over-wound coils for juicy crunch and wailing lead tones. Both pickups are wax potted to avoid microphonic squeal at high volume levels. Both pickups feature push-pull tone controls which provide coil splitting for authentic single-coil tones. Reliable Intonation and Tuning The innovative pairing of a Tune-o-Matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece ensures solid sustain and precise intonation, while a set of high-quality Grover locking tuners ensures smooth, accurate tuning.
