Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Good (small area of finish damage on top at the lower bout, two body finish flaws pictured)

Though this Les Paul might look like a classic it's all 21st century under the hood! Featuring coil-splittable humbuckers (controlled by the volume knob push-pull) and true by-pass and phase inversion options (via the tone control push-pulls) there's a whole world of tones at your fingers here. Add on locking tuners, a compound fingerboard radius, and Gibson's BurstBucker pickups, for modern style without sacrificing classic looks!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup

From Gibson Guitars

The Les Paul Standard has always been the cornerstone of the Gibson USA lineup, and the new Les Paul Standard holds that same esteemed position at the center of the 2013 Year of Les Paul celebrations. This is the most versatile Les Paul Standard ever created, the ultimate embodiment of Les Paul’s vision of innovation and elegance, and truly represents a marriage of timeless tone with contemporary flexibility and playability. Key features include a superbly comfortable new asymmetrical rendition of the SlimTaper™ neck profile that fits the player’s hand like a glove, a compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, and stealth wiring for the great BurstBucker Pro™ 1 & 2 pickups that provides individual coil splitting, phase reversal, and Pure Bypass switching all without changing the look of the classic control layout.
