Gibson Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar with 60s Neck (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
AA figured Maple top. 60's style with fast, thin neck.

Guitar legend Les Paul and Gibson teamed up in 1952 to produce the guitar that set the standard for solidbody electrics. The 2002 Standard sports the smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic "keystone" tuner buttons and is available with a "fat," rounded 50's style neck or a "fast," slim taper 60's style neck.

The Standard is outfitted with the new Burstbucker V pickups with Alnico V magnets producing slightly more output than any previous Standard pickups with more bite and a seductive "airy" tone with both pickups on.

The Les Paul Standard is still the Industry Standard Now available with Desertburst, Honeyburst, Lightburst, Trans Amber, Wine Red, and Heritage Cherry Sunburst finishes. Features smaller, vintage style headstock and plastic "keystone" tuners.

I have been very satisfied with this guitar. Great guitar would most surely recommend!
Sound
I am a studio guitarist for country music recordings. I live and play in Nashville, the home of this great company. I love it, its one of the best guitarist I own. I also own Les Pauls signature which looks amazing on the pickguard on the guitar ( only used during live shows) I give this a 10 out of 10!
Features
Awesome tone and rhythm. Sounds great through any type of amp!
Ease of Use
Takes a while to get adjusted to the pick ups. Have to play around with it a while. Other than that its very easy to use.
Quality
Top of the line. Puts fender in the grave. Best American Guitar I've ever played.
Value
I payed $2999 for my guitar and so far have got every penny I spent out of it. High price but worth it!
