Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahagony Electric Guitar

reviews


The most affordable carved-top Gibson Les Paul!

The Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany brings together old and new Les Paul features to create a unique and special guitar. The round warmth of a carved mahogany top on a mahogany back first debuted in the famous 1957 Custom Black Beauty. Now we're bringing this fabulous wood combo back with the added vintage edge of Gibson's Alnico V BurstBucker Pro humbuckers. Designed especially for the new Gibson Les Paul Standards, these pickups provide pure tone lovers with stunning humbucking tone on their electric guitars. A '59 rounded Les Paul mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard and trapezoid inlays is fast yet substantial.

Review

This guitar is a pleasure to play, not too heavy to allow extended play times.  The hardware and tuners worked flawlessly.  The 59 neck gives great feel even though it's a bit wider than other necks.  The humbuckers give that famous Les Paul sound and tone.
