Overview
Les Paul Traditional 2017 T -- a trip back in time to the Les Paul's golden era. A Les Paul inspired by the legendary late '50s Les Pauls, with all the benefits of modern-era Gibsons. From a distance -- with its Traditional features and accurate Grade-AA maple top on a solid mahogany body -- this Les Paul could be mistaken for a guitar kept under the bed since 1959.
Once in your hand, Les Paul Traditional 2017 T unveils subtle but incredibly significant advances: rolled binding, polished frets, and a rounded neck profile make this guitar extremely comfortable to play. Wired ABR and aluminum stopbar with steel posts deliver incredible resonance and sustain while Burstbuckers 1 and Burstbuckers 2 humbuckers with Orange Drop tone caps crank out dynamic, expressive PAF-inspired tones. Put it all together, and it's a superb take on the best of Les Paul's past, made for today's demanding player. It is delivered in a classic Gibson brown hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap and a polishing cloth.

This guitar is amazing, and for $1700.00 it can't be beat. To me, the desert burst looks tremendous in person. Wouldn't have been my first choice if it wasn't $300 lower than the other finishes, but after seeing it in person I really like it. The guitar was an early 2017 run, so it had been sitting for a while, but a little cleaning and minor adjustments to the action and it is both a looker and a player. I have big hands, so I love the slightly thicker neck. It has zero fret buzz and sounds great. I bought a 2017 Tribute earlier this year, also an excellent guitar, but this Traditional is all a Les Paul is supposed to be.
