The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   As part of the 2013 Year of Les Paul celebrations, Gibson USA  revamped the popular Les Paul Traditional, giving some fresh twists to its timeless blend of stellar tones, great looks, and unrivaled playability.  The Les Paul Traditional 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 looking great in the process, and a solid Mah back without weight relief contributes superb warmth and depth. A quarter-sawn, Grade-A Mah neck is glued in and carved in a comfortably rounded late-’50s profile that measures .900” at the 1st fret and 1.00” at the 12th, and topped with a bound Grade-A RW fretboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and traditional trapezoid inlays. Traditional touches include cream body and fretboard binding, pickguard, and pickup rings, along with gold Speed Knobs with dial pointers. Classic Gibson construction ensures optimum playability, along with traditional specs like a 24 ¾” scale length, a 1 11/16” width across the PLEK-cut Corian nut, and a 12 inch fretboard radius for smooth, easy bending.  Light Burst finish in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Includes Gibson hardshell case with white interior. This guitar has a scratch on the side of the neck, about 4 inches long, and a ding on the headstock, as well as some buckle rash on the back of the body.  We've taken detailed photos, please look through them before purchasing. At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands! Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance.  We want to help you Grow Your Passion®
