Gibson Les Paul Studio T | 2017

Here’s a modern player Les Paul with an old soul. Here you'd be getting the "vintage" kind of instrument without the fuss!! It's in Excellent condition with minimal marks of use. Wine Red Faded semi-matt Finish. 
 
The Gibson Les Paul Faded 2017 T gives you the benefits of a modern Gibson guitar at a lower price point. The guitar is built to look and play like a Les Paul should but having that feel of an older instrument due to it's faded semi matt finish … not in a relic-ed ,kind of way though.
 
The Les Paul Faded T's new-meets-old approach is exemplified in three key features: a SlimTaper maple neck shaped to mimic the natural wear of decades of playing; a weight-relieved mahogany body, which you'll be able and proud to strap on for hours at a time with its low weight and Faded Gloss finish; and a pair of Gibson 490 pickups that speak with a golden PAF-like tone, only with more bite and wax potting to reduce squeals.
 
This Les Paul Faded 2017 T feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-$ custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
You can't deny two fundamental guitar truths: early Les Pauls were glorious, but they were also heavy. That's the trade-off of strapping a solid slab of mahogany to your body. But Gibson has done something special with the Les Paul Faded T's Ultra-Modern, weight-relieved body. It retains the chime and resonance of slab Les Pauls at a big reduction in weight. This just means you can enjoy yourself onstage for longer, and drag yourself out of bed earlier, with the Gibson Les Paul Faded T.
 
The maple neck on this Faded T Les Paul is a breath of fresh air. Its SlimTaper neck profile conforms naturally to the hand, for smooth leads up top and fast licks down low.
English guitarists of the 1960s were looking for a more aggressive sound to push their modern brand of blues, rock, and soul. Gibson responded with its 490 pickup set. These had more bite than Gibson's PAF ("Patent Applied For") pickups of the 1950s. The reissue 490T and 490R pay tribute to this turning point in rock history. Their voice is smooth and clearly vintage inspired yet to our ears has more high-end cut and midrange chutzpah than vintage pickups. They're also wax potted to reduce microphonic feedback, which is a big win with high-gain amp pairings.
