Gibson Les Paul Classic - Translucent Cherry
Justin Waterfield checks out Gibson’s Les Paul Classic finished in Translucent Cherry.
The Gibson Les Paul Classic combines the early 60's style Les Paul model with some functional and time-tested modifications. As expected, the LP Classic is crafted with a mahogany back and maple top coupled with a slim taper mahogany neck and bound, rosewood fingerboard. Burstbucker 61R & 61T zebra, open-coil pickups provide classic Gibson tones from the era with a bit of extra punch thanks to the open coils. The control assembly features 4 push-pull pots which provide choices of coil tapping, phase switching and pure bypassing for functional and versatile sonic variety.
Finishes Available: Translucent Cherry, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Honeyburst and Ebony
