Gibson USA 2016 Limited Les Paul Standard with Mahogany Top (Natural) Overview
Gibson USA 2016 Limited Les Paul Standard with Mahogany Top overview by GAK!
A top-line Les Paul Standard from Gibson's Nashville USA plant, this one with a few twists. First thing you notice is the top is carved from Mahogany, not the usual Maple. Going back to the '50s Gibson would sometimes use all Mahogany bodies for Les Pauls and works brilliantly combined with the extra output and clarity from the Alnico V Burstbucker Pro pickups.
The one-piece Mahogany slim taper profile neck has a thick Rosewood fingerboard with a compound radius fingerboard and Mother of Pearl trapezoid inlays. The slippy Tektoid nut combines with the Grover locking machineheads and Tone Pro Tune-O-Matic bridge/stopbar for excellent tuning stability. There's some cool switching too- all four of the volume/tone pots are push/pull giving coil taps for both pickups, phase reverse and true bypass output.
Fitted brown Gibson hardshell case included.
