Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Gibson dealer

The revamped Standard! The Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar brings incredible features that have never been seen before on a Les Paul Standard. Gibson USA has designed this axe with Dual Burstbucker Pro Split Coil pickups so you can split each humbucker to get great single coil tone with the pull of a knob!

The comfortable playability of the compound radius rosewood fingerboard and modern weight relieved Mahogany body with Maple top makes the Les Paul Standard a joy to play.

Neck and Fingerboard

A compound radius rosewood fingerboard allows for comfort, speed and precision at all points up and down the neck of the Gibson Les Paul Standard. It accommodates lower string height while achieving unrestricted, smooth, upper-register string bending. The famous mahogany neck with '60s Slim Taper profile allows for comfort, speed and playability.

Hardware

A high-quality Switchcraft output jack ensures a perfect connection to your cable allowing the purest signal to leave the guitar. Locking Grover tuners enhance tuning stability and make string changes a breeze. Tone Pros Tune-o-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece ensure precise intonation and solid connection between the strings and the body for maximum sustain and tone.

Pickups and Electronics

Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver the Gibson legacy of muscular, defined tone. In addition to volume control, each volume knob splits a humbucker to single coil. Frequency-tuned 'Fat Tap' coil tapping creates a fatter single coil tone with great output and balance when switching from dual to single coils. Single coil configurations are specially designed to be hum-reducing.

In addition to controlling tone, one tone knob is a phase switch which allows for new tonal flavors, especially when used in combination with the coil-splitting feature. The other engages the 'Pure Bypass' circuit which sends the bridge pickup signal straight to the output jack to deliver the most direct, pure and dynamic signal possible.

Read all 4 Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar with Case Reviews

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Gibson 2012 Les Paul Standard Guitar (Blue Mist)"

Sound: Nearly endless tonal possibility that sounds incredible built right in. (2) Coil Taps - Bridge/Neck Volume Knobs (1) Phase Shift Tap - Neck Tone Knob (1) True Bypass Tap - Bridge Tone Knob **For really Gorgeous, Creamy, Clean Tones: Switch Position - Middle (Both Pickups Active) Coil Tap Bridge Pickup (to Single Coil) Leave Neck on Humbucker Feature: Many wonderful features: Gotoh Locking Tuners - Quick Easy String Changes (2) Coil Taps - Bridge/Neck Volume Knobs (1) Phase Shift Tap - Neck Tone Knob (1) True Bypass Tap - Bridge Tone Knob Compound Radius Neck (Slim Neck) - Something like the asymmetrical necks on new LP's but not as pronounced here. What is does have and works wonders is a slightly thicker neck near the headstock for chording which gets slimmer to slim up the neck for easy access lead work. Modern Weight Relief - It's like a hybrid of the "Swiss Cheese" weight relief and chambered. It has less wood than the Swiss but more than the chambered. I have found it to be a pretty good solution to the sustain vs. wood density-weight dilemma. Ease of Use: Incredibly easy to produce great tone in any position. Very easy and enjoyable to play. Sweet low action, Easy pleasant Major Bar Chording. I went from difficult Barring jobs on every other guitar I own (6 of them great major brands) to nearly simple almost effortless Bar Chording, Lead accuracy, and great improvements just because of the geometry of this instrument. My Guitar Teacher also noted the substantial improvements in my playing even though my practice sessions were almost nil for a while. Quality: This LP is made very solid, strong, and functionally excellent. And it is Made In The U.S.A. Value: Ahh.... The Money vs. The "Real" Value Crux. Are Gibsons overpriced? Are we paying for name over quality? My Conclusion: This particular model Gibson LP has done everything beyond what I expected it to already in playability, tone, options, craftsmanship, and player improvement. Is that worth the price I paid for the instrument? Yes and No. Remember, ZZounds has a 30 day return for any reason policy. Try the instrument out for yourself and let it be YOU who makes the final judgement call. Since you can return it if your not satisfied, what do you really loose? For me, this guitar is a keeper. My best and favorite now. Manufacturer Support: Before finally deciding to purchase a Gibson 2012 Les Paul Standard Guitar, I called Gibson twice for answers to some questions I had concerning the guitar. Gibson Customer support was friendly, knowledgable, and willing to take some extra time to help me with my questions. I left the phone well informed and more easily able to make an accurate, intelligent decision regarding this purchase. The Wow Factor: Since I'm getting a little longer in the tooth now these days, The Wow, Glitz, Glam, Flash, etc. doesn't do it for me. I'll almost always take an amazing playing and sounding Pig of an instrument over any lousy in nearly every important way, but damn! does it look good! awesomely painted garbage pile. Besides, LP's tend to have both playability/tone, and good looks to boot. Overall: Absolutely, a very superb musical instrument in every respect.

Style of Music: I enjoy playing, listening, and learning about every type of music I experience. My favorite "Genre" is always a favorite piece
