A rare and increasingly sought-after Gibson from the Memphis factory, this 2015 ES-Les Paul combines the resonance and comfort of a semi-hollow ES model with the familiar feel, scale length and controls of a Les Paul. Produced for only a relatively short period, these guitars have developed a loyal following amongst players looking for something a little different from the traditional Gibson catalogue. Finished in a beautiful Honey Burst over a figured maple top. The top displays some lovely flame figuring which really comes alive under different lighting conditions, whilst the dark stained back and sides provide a classy contrast. Weighing just 6 lb 2 oz, this is dramatically lighter than most Les Paul models whilst still retaining the warmth, sustain and familiar playing experience Gibson players love. The semi-hollow construction adds an extra layer of openness and resonance, making it equally at home for blues, jazz, classic rock and modern styles. Loaded with Gibson’s highly regarded MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) Humbuckers, the guitar delivers articulate cleans, rich midrange and detailed vintage-inspired tones. The rounded “C” mahogany neck feels comfortable and substantial without being overly chunky, while the rosewood fingerboard and rolled binding make for an effortless playing experience. Its excellent overall & comes in a generic case.
