Edit description

Experience the perfect blend of tradition and innovation with the 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard, now customized for an even richer musical journey. This solid body electric guitar is a testament to iconic vintage tone and modern versatility, making it a cherished piece for both stage performers and studio artists. Crafted with a "Modern" weight-relieved mahogany body, it offers the classic Les Paul sustain without the heft, ensuring comfort during long gigs or recording sessions.

The mahogany body, paired with a select maple top, delivers a harmonious balance of warm and bright tones. BurstBucker pickups capture the essence of the original PAF humbucker sound, providing a tight low end, complex midrange, and sweet highs. With coil-tapping capabilities, this guitar allows you to seamlessly switch between humbucking and single-coil operation, offering a palette of sounds from classic rock to contemporary pop.

The 2012 Les Paul Standard is equipped with a compound radius fretboard, designed for effortless playability. Its rounded profile near the nut facilitates easy chord transitions, while the flattened radius higher up supports fluid solos and wide bends. Whether you're holding down the rhythm or taking the lead, this guitar adapts to your style with grace and precision.

Key Features:

"Modern" weight-relieved mahogany body with maple top
Compound radius fretboard for versatile playability
BurstBucker pickups with coil-tapping options
Dual push-pull volume controls for tonal versatility

Gibson 2012 Les Paul Standard review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

Gibson’s 2012 Les Paul Standard impresses with its classic looks and expanded tonal options. The guitar boasts a well-made build, especially the flamed maple top and smooth Grover tuners. Its versatility shines through the push/pull switches, offering a range of sounds from vintage to modern. However, the thick fingerboard binding may limit playability, and the new sounds require some familiarization. Despite minor binding issues, the combination of traditional Les Paul tone with innovative features makes for a compelling instrument, especially for those seeking variety in their sound palette.
