Overview

The Les Paul Classic Lite pays tribute to the timeless elegance of the Les Paul Classic, while nailing classic Les Paul tone -- all in a light, comfortable guitar that's superbly easy to play. A thinner mahogany body with traditional 9-hole weight relief secures an ergonomic experience in the hand, while a solid carved maple top assures that legendary maple/mahogany sound. Add a pair of Gibson's most popular pickups, the '57 Classic and '57 Classic Plus zebra, and that sweet Classic Slim tapered neck, and it's a guitar that covers all bases.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

Just received this guitar in 3 days shipping from east coast to west coast. Made Feb 8th 2022. Quality control got this one right. No dings, scratches, weighed in at 6.8 pounds. Almost in tune right out of the box. Will do a professional setup to be complete. Treble, and rhythm knobs work like they should. Hit a home rum with this purchase from zZounds. Maybe just got lucky , or Gibson is taking stock again of their quality control.
