Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Plus Desert Burst 2013 Electric Guitar

This is a Gibson Les Paul Standard Premium Plus Electric Guitar in Desert Burst finish. The Premium Plus range was designed to offer a higher-grade top on a Les Paul, with considerably upgraded electronics & playability features such as a compound radius to provide the player with the most premium experience possible, without having to spend the money to get to a Custom Shop level instrument.

Made in the USA in 2013, this guitar consists of a Mahogany body with a Carved Flame Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Trapezoid inlays, Chrome Plated hardware, Grover locking tuners, a Nashville ToM bridge, a Stopbar tailpiece, and a set of Gibson Burstbucker Pro Humbuckers. These pickups are wired to two volume controls (push/pull coil tap), two tone controls (push/pull phase/pure bypass), and a three-way pickup selector.

The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the Asymmetrical ‘60s SlimTaper profile filling the hand without being overly thick, and offering a balanced and smooth playing experience across the register. Slightly slimmer on the treble side, the neck feels well equipped for a wide range of playing styles & techniques. This creates a feeling of dependability whilst remaining articulate enough for technical playing. The 10”-16” compound radius ensures that the playing experience is tailored to the needs of the player in all registers.

The BurstBucker Pro 1 & 2 pickups have a broad tone, encapsulating the classic vintage humbucker tones revered by many. The unbalanced coils provide a rich low end, a tight and punchy midrange, along with crisp and cutting trebles, granting plenty of clarity and articulation. The Burstbucker 1 in the neck position provides a lower output with full bodied tone, whilst the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge responds incredibly to overdriven tones, offering saturated lead lines and excellent note clarity. The controls offer comprehensive tone shaping options, with the push/pull features really allowing you to reshape and re-voice the guitar, allowing it to blend into any style or genre with ease.
