Are you looking to buy a guitar that will stand the test of quality build and great sound? It’s always good to have great guitar gear and accessories to enhance the musical moments that will come with being a skilled guitar player. However, without the luxury of having a quality guitar, the gear and accessories won’t contribute to achieving great musical moments. The purpose of this article is to help curtail that problem by introducing a quality guitar to be the solution to that problem. The solution is one of the top guitars from one of the top brands in the industry. If you ever play the Gibson Les Paul Traditional you will never want a different guitar again. In this article, we’ll highlight some of the features of the Gibson Les Paul Traditional that makes this guitar the frontrunner in the market.

The Neck And Body: No musician that plays on a regular basis wants a guitar with a flimsy neck. The Gibson Les Paul Traditional is by no means in the category of the flimsy neck guitars. This guitars neck as well as its headstock is made after the tradition of the original Les Paul that was made in 1959. A single piece of quarter-sawn Grade-A mahogany is carved, and a rosewood fingerboard is atop the mahogany. The back-angled headstock that contributes a great deal to the sustain, and the resonance of the instrument is at 17-degrees. This fingerboard and headstock contributes greatly to the coveted tone of the Les Paul.

The Pickups: Humbucker’s the name; having a great sound is the game. These humbucker pickups are double coiled to eliminate interference. They were brought to the light in the 1960′s, and they remain a pivotal piece to the Les Paul. These pickups are the force that was present during the entire evolution of rock music. If you like higher output, they sell some Les Paul with the pickups uncovered for that desired output. On this particular guitar the tone and volume for the pickups are controlled by four knobs toward the top of the guitar. You can also raise or lower the pickups easily with a screwdriver. To insure total control over these pickups, a pickup selector switch is built in. It’s as simple as flicking this switch to gain total control over the pickups. You can also move the pickup selector switch toward the neck if you would like to enable the neck pickup only, and towards the bridge in order to enable the bridge pickup only. If you position the pickup selector switch in the middle it will enable both pickups.

The Hardware: The hardware is something that doesn’t enhance the sound, tone, or volume. However, it should enhance the look of your guitar. In the case of the Gibson Les Paul Traditional, the hardware makes it look great. The list of hardware is as follows; the elegant tune-omatic bridge, black speed knobs, a black/white vinyl truss rod, and classic looking 14/1 tuners.

I conclude that this guitar is in the top tier as it relates to look, quality build, and sound. I would recommend this above most all guitars. It also sounds great when played through Fender Frontman 212r amp. Go get this guitar!!!!!
