Gibson Les Paul Classic 2017, Goldtop

The 2017 Les Paul Classic in Goldtop is the timeless Les Paul formula, set up for players who want vintage tone without vintage fuss. Its mahogany body and neck with a rosewood fingerboard deliver the warm, rich voice and long, singing sustain the model is famous for, and its substantial weight adds to that depth and resonance. The SlimTaper neck feels quick and comfortable in the hand, and the fingerboard radius suits full chords and expressive bends alike. A pair of Gibson ‘57 Classic Zebra humbuckers, closely matched in output, give a balanced, articulate PAF-style tone from warm neck-pickup leads to a bridge that bites without turning harsh, while Grover locking tuners keep it in tune and make string changes simple.
