Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk. Slim neck profile with wider Soloist neck width The Gibson Les Paul Studio 2016 HP sports a fast, wide neck with a slim profile, perfect for modern players who push the speed limit. The wider Soloist neck width gives you more room for big bends and tapping than the traditional LP neck width. It's a great balance for players who love Les Paul tone but prefer a faster, thinner neck.

These Modern Classic pickups feature tonal characteristics similar to the '57 Classic but deliver a slight increase in the upper mids, for a more contemporary humbucking sound. And there's more! The volume knobs feature a push-pull configuration that allows you to choose between classic humbucking tones and snappy single-coil sounds. Sweetwater can confirm this Les Paul has the classic sounds you want and expect from a Gibson.
