Gibson Les Paul Traditional Electric Guitar Ebony

Aug 31, 2009 Gibson Less Paul

The Les Paul Traditional Electric Guitar got its name because Gibson gave it all the traditional features you expect from a Les Paul: mahogany body and set neck with rounded ’50s profile, maple top, and a pair of Gibson’s ’57 Classic humbucker pickups. One significant, yet not-so-traditional improvement-the neck has been Plek’d on Gibson’s Plek machine. The neck and frets are analyzed by a computer-controlled robot and then the frets are filed to an accuracy of a hundredth of a millimeter for optimal action and intonation without string buzzing.
