2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional – Sunburst

An absolutely gorgeous 2018 Gibson Les Paul Traditional featuring a stunning, highly figured AA flamed maple top in a classic teardrop sunburst finish. Weighing in at a highly desirable 9.1 lbs (an excellent weight for a non-weight-relieved Les Paul), this guitar delivers the massive, sustaining tone and classic feel that made the original '50s bursts legendary. It is in near-mint condition and ready to be a workhorse for your next recording project or live show.

Key Features:

  • Year & Model: 2018 USA Gibson Les Paul Traditional

  • Weight: 9.1 lbs (A perfect balance—heavy enough for thick, resonant sustain, but manageable on a strap).

  • Condition: Near Mint. The beautiful flamed maple top is exceptionally clean, and the hardware shines. Please note: There are very slight, superficial clear coat scratches on the back of the body. Otherwise, the instrument is in absolutely pristine cosmetic and playing condition.

  • Aesthetics: This LP shows off its incredible wood grain with the pickguard off, accented by cream binding, covered humbuckers, and classic gold top-hat knobs with pointers.

  • Inclusions: Original hardshell case included.

The Details:

The 2018 Les Paul Traditional is built for players who want the authentic, old-school Gibson experience. With a solid mahogany body (no weight relief) and a rounded neck profile, it feels substantial and resonant in the hands. It comes loaded with Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups, which are completely hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors.

Whether you need warm, articulate cleans for an indie-pop rhythm track, or thick, roaring overdrive for heavy alternative riffs, this guitar responds beautifully to your playing dynamics and sits perfectly in a dense mix. The fretboard features rolled binding for a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the case.
