Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional (Heritage Cherry Sunburst) Overview

Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional product overview by GAK

2014 is the 120th anniversary of Gibson guitars and what better way to celebrate than with a new range of guitars. Here we have the Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional which may be the closest of the 2014 Les Pauls to those seen in the 1950s. Lets take a closer look.

The Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional is definitely one for the purest. The majority of the 2014 range incorporates a chambered body ("modern" weight relief) but in keeping with the original design the Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional has a one piece solid mahogany body and a AA figured maple top. This tried and tested combination creates the reassuring heaviness and the legendary powerful tone Les Pauls are famous for. The 2014 Les Paul Traditional has a late 50s profile mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fingerboard. As with the original 50s Les Pauls it feels extremely solid in the hand yet comfortable and playable at the same time.

The guitar is loaded with a pair of Gibson's new '59 Tribute humbucking pickups, which personify the legendary PAF humbuckers of the late '50s. They're wired through the traditional four-knob control section and three-way selector switch, with Orange Drop capacitors on the tone pots. The Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional re-visits the tone and feel of the legendary Les Pauls of the late '50s in style.

A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece provide a simple and efficient string set-up with outstanding resonance and sustain, while TonePros vintage tuners maintain the traditional look of the headstock. Enlarged strap buttons which are new for 2014 give you added confidence and security whilst vintage-cream binding, pickguard,pickup rings and gold speed knobs finish the Gibson 2014 Les Paul Traditional nicely.
