Gibson has taken the most essential features of the Gibson Les Paul and created a stripped-down, no-frills guitar that plays like its more expensive brothers and sounds like no other: the Gibson LPJ Les Paul. How was Gibson able to do this? The Gibson LPJ Les Paul is made with the same guts and style as the Les Paul you know and love, but with enough unique features to create a wholly original solid-body electric guitar.

Classic Design in a Stripped-Down Package

The LPJ Les Paul starts with the essence of the Les Paul guitar: a weight-relieved mahogany body and carved maple top. To make those classic tonewoods really sing, a '50s profile maple neck is set into the body for exceptional tonal clarity and sustain. The rosewood fretboard with traditional trapezoid inlays looks beautiful and is easy to play, thanks to the medium-jumbo frets set in perfect balance with the PLEK-cut Corian nut. The LPJ Les Paul's body is coated in a unique, rough-worn finish, giving the LPJ Les Paul a serious rock and roll vibe.

Legendary Gibson Humbucker Tone

With Gibson's Modern Classics 490R and 498T humbucking pickups loaded into the Gibson LPJ, you get a complete tonal arsenal. The 490R in the neck position is made with an Alnico II magnet that is standard-wound for tonal clarity and plenty of punchy dynamics. The 498T in the bridge has an over-wound Alnico V magnet with a crisp attack that's perfect for lead or rhythm playing. For a modern look, these classic PAF-style pickups are enclosed in a black plastic covering. These pickups can more than cover an entire range of tones and styles, making the Gibson LPJ Les Paul an electric guitar you'll want to take with to every gig.

Classic Hardware

The Gibson LPJ is topped off with a chrome Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tail piece, vintage-style tuners with black keys and a 16:1 tuning ratio for easy and accurate tuning, independent volume and tone controls for each pickup decked out in Gibson's Black speed knobs, and a classic "LPJ" engraved truss rod cover. If you are looking for an affordable Les Paul with a vibe, tone, and playability that can hold its own against guitars twice as expensive, then the Gibson LPJ Les Paul is the guitar for you.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (1 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Axe"
Overall: Bought the Gold Top and couldn't be happier. It plays great, set up was good out the box. The pickups sound great. No QC issues at all with mine. The 1 and only thing I can find on mine that I wish was different is the pickup selector switch is not the typical switch used by Gibson. There is nothing wrong with it, just not the normal one. The tip threads on instead of slides on. But overall the guitar is great.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
