2008 Gibson Les Paul Traditional In Beautiful Gold Top! Includes Original Gibson Case & Factory Documentation! Absolutely gorgeous Les Paul Traditional with GOLD TOP. All original featuring PLECK setup!

This Les Paul is in FANTASTIC, near MINT cosmetic condition (see pics) save some pick scratches on the pickguard, a couple of very light scratches and a few minor dents in the edge on the back. No breaks, cracks or repairs. Neck is straight and it feels like a cross between the 60s and 50s neck profiles. SWEET action. Frets have minimal to no wear. The case is in excellent condition as well.

Sound is GREAT – very, very resonant unplugged. There is no guitar that can sing and cry like the Les Paul Standard — even more true now with this enhanced “Traditional” design. That creamy Les Paul tone now sounds like double cream, especially using the Classic Plus position. Unplugged, the guitar still resonates with so much sweetness. The rosewood fretboard wraps each single note in loving warmth. The endless sustain… AMAZING guitar!

The sale price on this model is $2190 so BUY IT NOW and save HUNDREDS of $$$… or submit your best offer!

A Beautiful Les Paul Brimming with Classic Vibe and Tone!

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional solidbody electric guitar gives you the construction quality, performance, and great sound offered by the Standard models from the 1980s and ’90s. The Les Paul Traditional features a carved maple top, non-chambered, weight-relieved mahogany body and a mahogany neck. It’s loaded with ‘57 Classic and ‘57 Classic Plus humbuckers for maximum tone and ample output. Set up and ready to go for maximum playability, the Les Paul Traditional lets you create your own musical history!

Gibson Les Paul Traditional Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:

Classic tone, time-tested tonewoods
Plek system setup
Powerful, punchy pickups

Classic tone, time-tested tonewoods

Taking design and visual cues from the Les Pauls of the ’80s, the Les Paul Traditional starts with an un-chambered mahogany body with traditional weight-relief holes for a beefy tone that maintains the resonance of modern Les Pauls. The body is capped with a carved maple top and the hand fitted neck tenon sports the rounded, C-shape profile common on the Les Pauls of the ’80s and ’90s.

Plek system setup

The Les Paul Traditional is Gibson USA’s first model to utilize the revolutionary Plek system – a computer-controlled set-up that carefully measures and dresses each fret, accurately measuring the height between the fingerboard and each string, virtually eliminating string buzz and providing unbeatable playability.

Powerful, punchy pickups

Two of Gibson’s best-loved humbuckers – a ‘57 Classic in the neck position, and a ‘57 Classic Plus in the bridge – give the Traditional the power, punch, and clarity of Gibson’s legendary PAF pickups. Other traditional appointments include vintage-style Gibson speed knobs, classic Kluson-style tuners by TonePros, which offer period-correct looks with a higher tuning ratio, and a chrome Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar. Each Les Paul Traditional also comes with Gibson USA’s standard black snakeskin case.
