Gibson Les Paul Classic 2000, Cherry Burst

Cherry Burst gives this 2000 Gibson Les Paul Classic the familiar look of a late-’90s/early-2000s Les Paul, with the carved maple top and mahogany body providing the classic foundation. The ’60s-inspired neck profile makes for a slimmer feel than the chunkier necks found on some other Les Pauls of the period. Dual humbuckers deliver a range of thick, sustaining Gibson tones, from clean and open to full and driven. Replacement strap buttons are the only change, leaving this as a straightforward example of the Les Paul Classic from the turn of the century.
