Gibson Les Paul Standard left handed 2012 - Amber Flametop

2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard key specifications:

Body

•  Construction: Single-cutaway solid body with modern weight relief (not fully chambered; designed to reduce weight while preserving sustain and resonance)

•  Body wood: Mahogany

•  Top: Carved maple (plain on solid colors; AA/AAA figured flame maple on most burst/translucent finishes)

•  Binding: Cream

•  Finish: Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer

Neck

•  Neck wood: Mahogany (set-neck, mortise & tenon)

•  Profile: Asymmetrical ’60s SlimTaper

•  Fingerboard: Rosewood with cream binding

•  Inlays: Pearloid/acrylic trapezoid

•  Frets: 22 medium-jumbo

•  Radius: Compound 10”–16” (flatter toward the higher frets for easier bending)

•  Scale length: 24.75”

•  Nut: Corian, ~1.695”–1.70” (approx. 43 mm) width

•  Typical neck depth: ~0.82” at 1st fret / ~0.88” at 12th fret

Hardware

•  Bridge: TonePros locking Tune-o-matic

•  Tailpiece: TonePros stopbar

•  Tuners: Grover locking (kidney/keystone buttons)

•  Hardware finish: Chrome

Electronics

•  Pickups: Burstbucker Pro (Rhythm Pro in neck, Lead Pro in bridge) — Alnico V magnets, covered humbuckers designed as PAF-style with asymmetrical coils

•  Controls: 2 volume + 2 tone (amber top-hat knobs) + 3-way toggle

•  Push/pull volumes: Frequency-tuned “Fat Tap” coil-splits (partial tap for fatter single-coil tone and better balance; hum-reducing when both pickups are on)

•  Neck tone push/pull: Out-of-phase (when both pickups selected)

•  Bridge tone push/pull: Pure Bypass (routes bridge pickup directly to output, bypassing volume/tone pots for hotter signal)

Other

•  Weight: Typically in the 8–9.5 lb range (varies by specific example and weight relief; some reported around 8.2–9.4 lbs / ~3.7–4.3 kg)

•  Case: Original Gibson hardshell case included

•  Made in: USA

This model updated the previous Standard with the compound-radius board, modern weight relief, locking hardware, and especially the versatile push/pull electronics package while keeping classic Les Paul tonewoods and Burstbucker Pro pickups. 

Note that individual examples can vary slightly in weight, exact nut width measurement, and top figuring. Left-handed versions were also offered in some finishes.

8lbs 6oz

Very little playtime on this one, it really has that ability to have great high fidelity clean tones and also take you to the edge!
