Gibson USA Limited Les Paul Standard Double Cutaway, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, SN 160103458 Overview

Gibson USA Limited Les Paul Standard Double Cutaway Overview by GAK:

So would you call this a hybrid between a Les Paul Standard and a LP Special? Really it is best thought of as a 'proper' Les Paul Standard, just with the extra cutaway on the bass side which definitely aids comfort and access to the upper frets. The hand-selected Mahogany body is chambered for light weight and resonance and features a stunning AA+ grade bookmatched Flame Maple top. The Mahogany neck has a classic Slim Taper profile while the dark Rosewood fingerboard has a 12" radius and trademark Trapezoid inlays. The slippery Graphite TekToid nut and Grover Locking Kidney machineheads ensure tuning stability.

The pickups are Zebra Alnico V bar magnet Lead Pro & Rhythm Pro (aka Burstbucker Pros) which offer a slightly higher output along with asymmetrical coil (true to the original PAFs) which supply a more open sound. And the controls are changed from a stock Les Paul- a single volume and tone pot simplify matters whilst the pickup selector switch has been moved from the upper bout which many players will find more natural. Ships in a fitted hardshell Gibson USA brown case with the pink fluffy lining. And these are very limited too, only 100 have been produced worldwide!
