Gibson 2008 Les Paul Standard (Ebony)

Improving a legend isn’t easy, but it’s happened. Introducing Gibson USA's 2008 Les Paul Standard—an elegant revision of a true classic, with upgrades and new features that make it the best Les Paul Standard ever produced. Based on consumer feedback and a drive to uphold and enhance the legacy of the Les Paul Standard, Gibson USA’s 2008 model sets a new guitar benchmark for excellence and achievement. Play the new 2008 Les Paul Standard from Gibson USA and experience the evolution of the greatest electric guitar of all time.

The Les Paul Standard Guitar debuted in 1952 as Gibson's first solidbody guitar and has evolved over the course of time to stand today as the benchmark for all electric guitars. The 2008 Les Paul Standard continues to alter and inspire - the sounds of today's ever-changing musical landscapes. It features a hand-carved AA maple top with matched chambered mahogany back outlined with single-ply binding. The neck is crafted from a single piece of mahogany.

Carefully glued into the neck cavity of the body the neck functions as a single unit with the body. Its asymmetrical shape is the most comfortable neck offered on a Les Paul Standard. Burstbucker Pro pickups containing Alnico V magnets wound to vintage specs and with wax potting deliver original "Patent Applied For" tone.

All Les Paul Standards are Plek'd on Gibson's Plek machines. These remarkable computer controlled devices scan and dress a guitar's frets under actual playing conditions strung and tuned to pitch. This is a major breakthrough since the Plek machine identifies precisely what needs to be done for perfect fretwork, executes this rapidly and delivers perfect results on the instrument when restrung.

NOTE: To give you a choice of how your Les Standard should look the scratchplate is not attached but included in the case. To install the scratchplate holes will need to drilled into the body.
