The 2017 HP Les Paul Classic's Soloist neck and Fast-Access heel will get your playing up to speed, while its '57 Classic humbuckers retain iconic PAF tone.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Flamed maple top Premium wood grain with bright, projecting tone
G FORCE Quick, accurate automatic tuning
Mahogany body Rich, warm, focused sound; added sustain
Titanium Zero Fret Nut Adjustable zero fret nut for superior intonation

While its looks and legendary design are truly Classic, the Les Paul Classic 2017 HP is one of the most forward-looking guitars we have ever produced, focused on creating an utterly new "Classic" rather than staying mired in the past. Virtually everything on this High Performance guitar has been upgraded, from the Grade-A flamed maple top to the chromed hardware with titanium bridge saddles, from the G FORCE(TM) tuners to the powerful PAF-style pickups, and that's before even getting into the whopping 150 sonic combinations available from our new wiring system. Add to this our exclusive Fast-Access heel and supremely playable Soloist's neck width, and you have a decidedly future Classic right in front our your eyes--without sacrificing one ounce of that evocative Les Paul styling.

Delivered in a Gibson High Performance super premium stamped aluminum case, along with a Gibson premium leather strap, a Gibson multi-tool and a polishing cloth.

Wow! First of all super fast shipping as usual. The guitar is absolutely beautiful and flawless. Set up was just right out of the box. Haven't even figured out all the endless tone settings. The robot tuning is excellent once you get the hang of it. The removable pickgaurd is the greatest feature. I love how it just pops off with no screw holes to worry about. The carved heel is a fantastic addition making it so easy to access the higher frets. Everything about this guitar is incredible including the tones. It has a very high quality look and feel. It's even nicer than my previous 2013 LP Standard that I adored. For the money you can't go wrong. The only negative I can see is the case. Don't get me wrong , the case is gorgeous. It's just very heavy to tote around. I would recommend buying a regular Gibson Les Paul case if you plan on gigging around with this. The case that comes with it would be great for along trip or in an airplane. It's more like a flight case. I absolutely love this guitar. The Ocean Burst finish is mind blowing.
