Manufacturer's Description for Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus Electric Guitar (with Case)

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus combines time-tested features with all of the snarling sound that you would expect from a Les Paul. The Les Paul Traditional Plus is also the first Gibson to use the revolutionary PLEK system, a computerized set-up that measures and dresses each individual fret while measuring the height between the fingerboard and the strings. You'll be shocked when you see how readily the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus avoids string buzz while providing for the ultimate in playability. With a Mahogany body and set neck with a pair of Gibson's awesome '57 Classic humbuckers, the Les Paul Traditional Plus has the classic look and feel that guitar players grew up playing. And, of course, no plus would be complete without a beautiful figured Maple top.

Other traditional features on the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus include vintage style Gibson speed knobs, a chrome Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar, and classic Kluson-style tuners by Tone Pros, giving this guitar the classic look of the 80's that purists die for.

The Plus In Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus has what Gibson refers to as a "plus top" - a AA figured maple top. The maple top doesn't just look fantastic on any of the Traditional Plus's finishes - it also provides extra clarity and definition to the guitar's tone. With this extra bit, the Les Paul Traditional Plus is a guitar sure to turn heads in any venue. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Gibson products.

Customer Reviews
5 out of 5 (13 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "100% Satisfied. Stop looking and just buy it already!"
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. 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. Ease of Use: Standard LP range of sound, regardless of settings. 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. Manufacturer 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.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The Sweet Grind"
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. 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. 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. 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. Manufacturer Support: never needed it... ever... in 30 years of playing LPs. 15 of those years beating the crap out of them onstage. The Wow Factor: Loves you long time... like a good woman. Actually, better than a good woman. This one only talks when you want it to! lol 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.
