The Government Series Les Paul Grab a guitar destined to be a collectible with the limited-edition Gibson Government Series Les Paul solidbody electric guitar. In August of 2011 the US Government raided the Gibson factory in Nashville and seized a large amount of wood. The seized wood, mostly rosewood, was eventually returned. This limited-edition guitar sports a rosewood fretboard that was seized in that raid. The Government Series Les Paul gives you genuine Gibson sound and looks in an affordable US-made guitar. Limited runs of these guitars sold out quickly.  Gibson Government Series Les Paul Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance: Slim Taper neck for uber-playability Dirty Fingers + pickups deliver the aggressive sound of hard rock Bringing back a legacy of time-tested rock toneSlim Taper neck for uber-playability The Gibson Government Series Les Paul sports a comfortable, fast-action neck with a '60s Slim Taper profile. Early Gibson electric guitars had huge "tree-trunk" necks, but beginning in 1959, the company began slimming the neck down to a more comfortable size. By 1960, this evolved into a design Gibson called the Slim Taper neck. Varying in thickness only about a tenth of an inch from the first fret out to the twelfth and maintaining a precisely controlled width-to-thickness ratio, the Slim Taper neck promoted playing speed while reducing player fatigue. Many guitarists consider Gibson's Slim Taper neck the most playable Gibson neck ever made. Whether you're chording down low or riffing up high, the Government Series Les Paul's neck - with its slick rosewood fingerboard and classic trapezoid inlays - always feels just right. Dirty Fingers + pickups deliver the aggressive sound of hard rock When modern punk and metal guitarists started experimenting with vintage pickups in the early 2000s, it's little wonder that they rekindled the demand for Gibson's long-out-of-production Dirty Fingers humbucking pickups. After all, it was only a little over two decades before that these pickups helped to divide the nasty, raw, and distortion-rich sound that broke punk and metal away from mainstream rock. The Gibson Government Series Les Paul model is a lot like the guitars that inspired these modern shredders, featuring the performance and the tone that kicked off two waves of aggressive rock. Whether you're diming a classic British high-gain stack or unleashing the fury of a tubetastic terror from the hills of California, the Government Series Les Paul will let your amp unleash the fury your music demands.
