Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus 2016 T / 2015
We have received the Gibson USA-made Traditional model from 2016, which combines the traditional Les Paul sound with excellent playability. Although it's a 2016 model, it was manufactured in 2015. This particular piece carries the "Plus" designation, indicating its stunning wood grain.
In contrast to the "modern" models currently produced as standards, the Traditional proudly inherits the classic Les Paul looks and specs, boasting enduring popularity as a staple model.
Constructed with a maple top/mahogany back for the body, and a mahogany neck/rosewood fingerboard, it adheres to traditional specifications including the neck heel shape . Catering to modern players who prefer lightweight guitars, it features Traditional Weight Relief.
It utilizes TekToid, a graphite-based material, for the nut, known for its durability and excellent sustain. The frets are finished with precision using the Plek machine, and the neck profile is slightly thinner to accommodate modern playing styles. Unlike the auto-tuning pegs found on many Gibsons of this era, it is equipped with conventional manual tuners, with a nut width of 1.695 inches, which is also standard.
The simple yet classic wood grain coloring allows you to fully experience the allure of the Gibson tradition of the Les Paul. Equipped with the classic '57 Classic/'57 Classic+ pickups, it delivers a wide range of tones from powerful to sweet, showcasing its versatility, making it an outstanding instrument!
The Traditional is also recommended for those who are new to Les Pauls, offering a vintage-like crunch with character and a clear, well-rounded drive sound. The '57 Classic pickups are truly impressive.
With the added power of the '57 Classic Plus in the bridge position, it appears to be versatile across all genres and offers great value for money! It's a Traditional that is ready for action, whether in live performances or recording sessions.
(Note: The tone pot for the neck pickup has been replaced.)
Condition: Excellent. Professionally cleaned and set up with new strings (D'Addario).
No problem with the electric systems. Neck is straight and the truss rod works with no issues. Frets remain over 80 percent.
Although it has some scratches and dents, the overall appearance is excellent.
Comes with a hard case, guitar strap, etc.
