Key Features & Playability Notes

• The SlimTaper neck + bound rosewood board with trapezoid inlays gives the classic early-’60s Les Paul feel with fast, comfortable access.
• 60s Burstbucker Zebra open-coil pickups deliver warm, dynamic PAF-inspired tones with extra clarity and punch from the open coils—excellent for rock, blues, and classic rock.
• Four push/pull pots add serious versatility: coil-tap for single-coil sparkle, phase switching, and Pure Bypass for even more tonal options without losing the core Les Paul character.
• Deep Purple finish is a Gibson Exclusive colorway that pops under stage lights and highlights the maple cap beautifully.
• Modern 9-hole weight relief keeps the guitar lighter and more resonant while retaining sustain and feedback resistance.

This is a standard production Exclusive model with no custom-shop or limited-edition numbering beyond the color/finish designation.
