A significant part of what makes this guitar so special is the duo of pickups and the controls paired alongside them. The Custombucker Alnico III pickups, located at both the bridge and neck positions, are designed to reproduce the vintage tone and performance of the original PAF humbuckers from the late 1950s. These electronics provide warm and balanced sounds with an impressive dynamic range, making them perfect for various playing styles and genres. The Alnico III magnets used in these pickups offer a slightly lower output than their Alnico II or V counterparts, resulting in a smooth and articulate sound that responds well to picking dynamics and nuances.
This guitar also features two dedicated volume and tone knobs, giving you the ability to fine-tune your sound and achieve the perfect balance between the bridge and neck pickups. The 3-way pickup switch provides three distinct tonal options: the bridge pickup for a bright and cutting sound, the neck pickup for a warm and full-bodied tone, and a combination of both pickups for a balanced and versatile sound. Furthermore, the switchcraft output jack ensures a reliable connection to your amplifier, while the gold top hat control knobs with silver reflector inserts and amber Catalin switch tip add a touch of vintage flair to the guitar's appearance. A wide range of tonal possibilities while staying true to the classic Les Paul sound.
The Les Paul is celebrated for its outstanding playability, offering musicians an instrument that seamlessly integrates with their natural technique. As soon as you hold this guitar, the comfortable '60s slim taper neck profile becomes immediately apparent, providing a swift and fluid playing experience. This slender design caters to a diverse array of players, accommodating those with smaller hands as well as those who simply appreciate a sleeker feel.
Its Indian rosewood fingerboard is a critical component in enhancing the playability of the Les Paul. With its 12" radius, it allows for effortless navigation along the neck, while the twenty-two authentic medium jumbo frets ensure accurate intonation and excellent playability across the entire fretboard. The combination of these features promotes seamless chord transitions and precise note articulation, enabling musicians to express themselves with greater ease and confidence. The result is a truly immersive playing experience that captivates both the musician and their audience, solidifying the Les Paul's reputation as a timeless and exceptional guitar.
Meticulously designed to provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal, the Gibson Les Paul Reissued stays true to the vintage charm of the original. The nickel hardware finish lends a classic touch to the guitar's appearance, while the no-wire ABR-1 bridge ensures optimal sustain and intonation. The Kluson single line, double ring machines heads not only contribute to the vintage-inspired look but also guarantee precise and stable tuning. A Laminated cellulose acetate butyrate pickguard protects the stunning finish from scratches and wear, while the aluminium strap buttons keep your instrument secure during performances. Its exceptional hardware not only complements its iconic design but also ensures reliable performance and longevity.
Alongside your Les Paul Standard, you also receive a brown/pink 5-latch case, providing both style and protection for your prized instrument. This high-quality case is designed to perfectly fit the contours of the Les Paul, ensuring that the guitar remains secure and well-protected during transport or storage. The exterior of the case features a luxurious brown finish with reinforced edges, while the interior is lined with a plush pink material, offering excellent cushioning and support for your guitar. The five durable latches ensure that the case remains securely closed, safeguarding your instrument from dust, dirt, and potential damage. Preserve your guitar's beauty and longevity for years to come.

Since its introduction, the Les Paul has become one of the most iconic and revered guitars in the world, known for its distinctive look, versatile tonal capabilities, and unparalleled sustain.
