Updated for 2013, the Les Paul combines superb tonewoods with powerful electronics for an outstanding Les Paul experience. The tried-and-true combination of a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and maple top is retained with the added versatility of split coil pickups. An upgraded compound radius fretboard adds a stellar degree of comfort, while the classic tenents of Les Paul design help capture all the tone, style, and playability of a golden-era Gibson. Powerful Humbuckers with Coil Tapping and More The Les Paul wields two of Gibson's celebrated Burstbucker(r) Pro pickups. These powerful humbuckers deliver the bold, thick tones of a classic Les Paul with robust mid-range and engrossing low-end. This Les Paul takes things a step further with versatile split coil functionality. Both volume knobs double as a push-pull switches which transform their respective Burstbucker into a tuneful single-coil pickup. Beyond the coil tapping, one of the tone knobs functions as a phase switch while the other engages a 'pure bybass' feature which sends a signal directly from the bridge pickup to the output jack. With the clear, ringing tones of the single-coil setting and the fat, thumping tones of the humbucker, the 2013 Les Paul Standard offers an enormous range of excellent sonic textures to work with. Built for Quality and Comfort In addition to the electronic configuration, this release includes a redesigned compounded radius fretboard for smooth playability from top to bottom. The neck is in the classic '60s slim taper profile, and joined with a deep running set tenon -- one of the fundamental ingredients to that classic Gibson sustain. Also true to classic Gibson design are the sturdy Grover kidney tuners and tune-o-matic bridge. Stunning Les Paul Looks The 2013 Les Paul features a AAA flame maple top with an array of attractive finishes to really highlight the natural beauty of the wood grain. Gibson uses a hand-applied finishing process to ensure that each guitar's finish lives up to the model's high standards. Complimented by elegant chrome hardware and inlays, the Les Paul Standard abounds with classic Les Paul style.
