About This Product!
Description
From Our Catalog
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 Traditonal 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 pursists will love.

Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"100% Satisfied. Stop looking and just buy it already!"
Feature:
I'm not an expert on the "plek'd" factory setup with the frets, but all I can say is you will never encounter unwanted buzzing from this guitar.
Quality:
Absolutely beautiful guitar with quality craftsmanship. What you would expect for a $2300 guitar.
Value:
Go to your local guitar shop. Play the "Traditional" first before all the others and I guarantee you will find yourself coming back to this one in the end.
Sound:
I play this guitar 2 to 3 hours daily for a reason. Can't put it down. Tone, clarity, and playability with endless sustain. Played through an MG100dfx.
Ease of Use:
Standard LP range of sound, regardless of settings.
Support:
Owned for over a year now and have never needed it.
Overall:
Always wanted a Les Paul. Waited over 20 years before dropping the cash. Wish this guitar and my money would have been available when I first started playing. For all the other guitars I have purchased and played, nothing even comes close to comparison. Buy it, you will be completely satisfied with your decision.

"The Sweet Grind"
Feature:
It's a throwback Les Paul. You get what you pay for. The AA top on my Honeyburst is incredible. I've seen AAA tops that didn't look this good.
Quality:
Apart from the pot change, It's a Les Paul. Quality is its middle name. And granted, most folks won't care about the 300K pots, but try chaging to 500K. You'll be amazed at how much versatility it adds. I bought a "blemished" piece (zzounds) and I couldn't find a blemish anywhere. Saved a few hun though... very happy!
Value:
Again, you get what you pay for. Premium quality.
Desirability:
Loves you long time... like a good woman. Actually, better than a good woman. This one only talks when you want it to! lol
Sound:
I knocked one off because of the lightswitch volume... either on or off and not much in between. Replaced the 300K pots with 500Ks and I got my subtleness of the reissues. The 57's sound very bright and the 500k gives them the warmth with a little rollback if needed. Overall, it's a Les Paul... nuff said.
Ease of Use:
The neck is sweet. Love it. Had to set it up to my liking and the intonation was an easy fix. Lowered the action just a hair with no probs either. Plays like a Les Paul should.
Support:
never needed it... ever... in 30 years of playing LPs. 15 of those years beating the crap out of them onstage.
Overall:
I bought this model because I loved the 80s LPs. I must admit to being absolutely spoiled by my reissues, but this guitar is right up there. If I was still a road warrior, these would be the ones I'd take out.
