pounds 6 ounces, providing the familiar substantial feel associated with a Les Paul Standard.The body is finished in beautiful gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.BURSTBUCKER 2 NECK HUMBUCKERThe neck

warm, articulate response with expressive dynamics and excellent note definition.It is ideal for smooth blues leads, warm clean tones, classic rock, jazz-influenced playing, and singing overdriven sounds.The neck pickup offers the fullness and sustain that have helped make the Les Paul a favorite among lead guitarists.BURSTBUCKER 3 BRIDGE HUMBUCKERThe bridge position features a Gibson Burstbucker 3 humbucker.With a hotter response than the Burstbucker 2, the bridge pickup provides additional bite, strong midrange presence, and excellent articulation.It delivers powerful classic

sounds.CLASSIC GIBSON LES PAUL ELECTRONICSThe instrument features the traditional Gibson Les Paul control layout:Neck Pickup VolumeBridge Pickup VolumeNeck Pickup ToneBridge Pickup ToneThree-Way

neck.This profile offers a familiar feel with enough substance for comfortable chord playing and expressive lead guitar.The classic Gibson 24.75-inch scale length provides the familiar string tension and response associated with the Les Paul.The neck is joined to the body using a long neck tenon, an important traditional Gibson construction feature.The fingerboard features a 12-inch radius, 22 frets, traditional trapezoid inlays, and cream binding.The Medium C profile provides a comfortable balance between vintage-inspired neck dimensions and modern playing feel.LONG NECK TENON
