Gibson Left-Handed Les Paul Traditional Electric Guitar (with Case), Ebony
With '57 humbucker pickups and Gibson's Plek system, this guitar houses the best qualities from Gibson's past, present, and future.

The left-handed Gibson Les Paul Standard Traditional has all the traditional features and fat, sweet snarling sound that you expect from a Les Paul, from the mahogany body and set neck to the pair of Gibson's awesome '57 Classic humbucker pickups. Gibson is pleased to announce that the Traditional is the first model to use the revolutionary PLEK system, a computer-controlled set-up that measures and dresses each fret, measuring the height between the fingerboard and each string, eliminating string buzz and providing ultimate playability.

- Vintage-style Gibson speed knobs

- Classic Kluson-style tuners by Tone Pros
- Gibson's standard black snakeskin case

Excellent guitar. Before I even plugged it in, I knew I had a winner. A guitar that sounds that great before even being plugged into an amp has to sound good and it does. I own several guitars. EVH, Ibanez, ESP, LTD, Ovation. They all have likes and dislikes. The Gibson Les Paul Traditional is just a big heavy tone monster!!!!!! I am not going to bore you with a bunch of details on the Gibson. It is heavy in weight for a guitar compared to others. I switched to a padded strap and that helps. I can stand at rehersal for five hours and be comfortable. The tone I get from this guitar is priceless. I got a very good deal on it from ZZSounds. I am very happy with the purchase!

Sound
Classic Les Paul tone. This guitar sounds AWESOME. Everybody in my band is blown away by its tone. Cuts through in the mid and high range very well with a tight low bottom end. Excellent tonal balance.

Features
Its old school Les Paul. I do not like the plastic tuners.

Ease of Use
This guitar sounds great through a EVH 5153 or through a 5 watt practice amp. Plays excellent. No learning curve.

Quality
Made in the USA. Gibson guitars will last a life time. Not sure about the plastic tuners and pick guard.

Value
I was skeptical about the price verses quality. After receiving the guitar that went away.

Never had a reason to contact.

The Wow Factor
Every guitar player should have Gibson Les Paul. Love them, hate them. It shouldn't matter. I am not the biggest Les Paul fan on the planet however I believe this guitar is going to make me a huge Les Paul fan. Very thick heavy tone!!!!!!!!
