Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul Spliced Top (Light Burst) Overview
The Gibson Memphis ES-Les Paul Spliced Top is one our favourite Les Pauls we've seen that retains its classic heritage while trying something new. The semi-hollow construction gives the Spliced Top a more resonant and open tone than solid bodied Les Pauls, while the abundance of maple in the body adds a brightness and snappiness that lends itself well to anything from jazz to rock. Gibson Memphis have included a pair of specially-designed Memphis Historic Spec (MHS) pickups, which have an open tone that works with the semi-hollow body. If you want a classic-looking but unique Les Paul, look no further than the ES-Les Paul Spliced Top.Call GAK now for product info, advice and the Best Prices - 01273 665400
