Overview

One of a handful of guitars joining Gibson USA's Limited Run 120th Anniversary Celebrations, the Les Paul Traditional Flame Top makes for a timely reminder of what makes the world's most influential electric guitar such a long-running success. Combining classic tonewoods with vintage-spec pickups and top-notch hardware, this gorgeous guitar adds your choice of three grades of flame maple top--AAA+, AAA, and AA--made even more luscious beneath a high-gloss Heritage Cherry finish, to recreate the look of the most desirable Les Pauls ever produced.

The Les Paul Traditional 120 Flame Top begins with a non-weight relieved Grade-A mahogany body and a gorgeous flame maple top. This echoes the beauty of the highly desirable Les Pauls of 1960, a vibe that's carried through with a slim, fast neck profile on its Grade-A mahogany neck. A one-piece Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with frets over binding carries traditional trapezoid inlays, and there's a commemorative "120th Anniversary" banner at the 12th fret. Vintage tones follow classic looks, thanks to a pair of 1959 Tribute humbuckers. Made with Alnico II magnets, 42 AWG enamel-coated wire, and slightly mismatched coils just like the original PAFs, these pickups capture all the depth and edge of the best humbuckers made from 1957-'60. Finish it off with quality TonePros(TM) Kluson(R) tuners, a Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece and cradle it in a brown hardshell case and you're good to go!

This is a great looking and great sounding guitar. One of Les Paul's finest products. I recently purchased one from zZonunds, and when I opened the case I was completely in love. The only problem I had with this guitar was the truss rod cover. When I recieved my brand new Traditional Les Paul it came with a "Standard" truss rod cover. My immediate thought was that something fishy was going on, but I contacted Gibson, they varified the serial number, assured me that this type of thing happens sometimes, and they immediately sent me a Traditional truss rod cover. Looks great, sounds great, reasonably priced. I love it!
