Gibson USA 2017 Les Paul Classic HP Left Hand, Green Ocean Burst Overview
Gibson USA 2017 Les Paul Classic HP Overview by GAK:
Les Paul Classic 2017 HP a future Classic. While its looks and legendary design are truly Classic, the Les Paul Classic 2017 HP is one of the most forward-looking guitars ever produced, focused on creating a new "Classic." Virtually everything on this High Performance guitar has been upgraded, from the Grade-A flamed maple top to the chromed hardware with titanium bridge saddles, from the G FORCE™ tuners to the powerful PAF-style pickups, and an incredible 150 sonic combinations available from a new wiring system. Add to this the exclusive Fast-Access heel and supremely playable Soloist's neck width, and you have a decidedly future Classic without sacrificing that evocative Les Paul styling. Delivered in a Gibson hardshell case, along with a Gibson premium leather strap, a Gibson multi-tool and a polishing cloth.
