Gibson Les Paul Faded 2017 T Electric Guitar at a Glance:Plek'd for precision playabilityUltra-Modern body is weight relieved for comfortSlimTaper maple neck plays fast and smoothGibson 490 pickups are a modern take on a 1960s classicPlek'd for precision playabilityThis Les Paul Faded 2017 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. 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.Ultra-Modern body is weight relieved for comfortYou can't deny two fundamental guitar truths: early Les Pauls were glorious, but they were also heavy. That's the trade-off of strapping a solid slab of mahogany to your body. But Gibson has done something special with the Les Paul Faded T's Ultra-Modern, weight-relieved body. It retains the chime and resonance of slab Les Pauls at a big reduction in weight. This just means you can enjoy yourself onstage for longer, and drag yourself out of bed earlier, with the Gibson Les Paul Faded T.SlimTaper maple neck plays fast and smoothThe maple neck on this Faded T Les Paul is a breath of fresh air. Its SlimTaper neck profile conforms naturally to the hand, for smooth leads up top and fast licks down low. Whatever your standard neck preference, Sweetwater guitarists are sure you'll find something to appreciate about the Les Paul Faded T's pre-worn neck, which we agree, does play more like a vintage instrument than a brand-new one.Gibson 490 pickups are a modern take on a 1960s classicEnglish guitarists of the 1960s were looking for a more aggressive sound to push their modern brand of blues, rock, and soul. Gibson responded with its 490 pickup set. These had more bite than Gibson's PAF ("Patent Applied For") pickups of the 1950s. The reissue 490T and 490R pay tribute to this turning point in rock history. Their voice is smooth and clearly vintage inspired yet to our ears has more high-end cut and midrange chutzpah than vintage pickups. They're also wax potted to reduce microphonic feedback, which is a big win with high-gain amp pairings.Gibson Les Paul Faded 2017 T Electric Guitar Features:A modern Les Paul with pre-worn charmUltra-Modern mahogany body is weight relieved for longer nights onstageMaple SlimTaper neck is shaped to resemble a vintage instrumentRosewood fingerboard delivers classic Les Paul sustainGibson 490 pickups pay tribute to turning-point tones of the 1960sDecked out with vintage-style keystone tuners and Black Top Hat knobsAluminum Tune-o-matic bridge is lightweight and tonally matched to the guitarPlek'd for precision playabilityBody Type Solidbody Body Shape Les Paul Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Number of Strings 6 Body Material Mahogany with Ultra Modern weight relief Top Material Maple Body Finish Faded Gloss Lacquer Color Worn Brown Neck Material Maple Neck Shape Slim taper Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Acrylic dots Number of Frets 22 Scale Length 24.75" Nut Width 1.695" Nut Material Tektoid Bridge/Tailpiece Nickel plated aluminum tune-o-matic with steel thumbwheels Tuners Vintage style keystone Neck Pickup 490R Humbucker Bridge Pickup 490T Humbucker Controls 2 x volume, 2 x tone, 3-way toggle pickup switch Strings 9-46 Case Included Padded gig bag Manufacturer Part Number LPF17WBNH1
