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.

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

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.
