Gibson Left-Handed Les Paul Traditional Plus Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
Utilizing Gibson's Plek system, this guitar combines extreme playability with vintage features to create the perfect Les Paul for lefties.

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus has all the time honored features with all the fat, sweet snarling sound that you expect from a Les Paul Guitar. The Gibson Traditional Plus is the first model to use the revolutionary Plek system from Gibson. A computer controlled set-up that measures and dresses each fret measuring the height between the fingerboard and each string. This will eliminate string buzz and provide ultimate playability. With Mahogany body and set neck and a pair of Gibson's awesome '57 Classic humbucker pickups, this guitar has a classic look and feel that guitar players grew up playing. Of course no plus would be complete without a beautiful figured maple top.

Other traditional features are vintage style Gibson speed knobs, chrome Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar and classic Kluson-style tuners by Tone Pros, which give this guitar the classic look of the 80's that purists will love.
