Full Description

The New Classic Beauty

The Les Paul Faded 2017 HP looks like it has been worn in to fit your hand, and hot-rodded to suit your playing style. Equipped with classic Les Paul appointments, including chrome knurled UFO control knobs, chrome hardware, and traditional Mother of Pearl Dots inlays, the Gibson Les Paul Faded HP is the perfect guitar for any level of player. As well as classic characteristics, the Les Paul Faded 2017 features a stunning new worn brown finish, which adds a modern twist to the overall appearance.

Ultra Modern Weight Relief

The Les Paul Faded HP Guitar features an ultra-modern weight relief chambered body for comfort and enhanced resonance. This weight-relief process involves routing nine round holes in the mahogany body before the stunning maple top is attached. These holes are strategically placed in the lower bouts on the bass-side of the guitar, offering you a comfortable-lightweight guitar that can be played all night long.

Slim Taper Neck

Not only does the Gibson Les Paul offer a comfortable lightweight body, but also provides a slim tapered neck profile. This mahogany neck offers the ultimate comfort with its slim profile, and allows for fast and comfortable soloing. As well as providing fluid hand flexibility, the mahogany neck is fused to the mahogany body using a mortise and tenon joint, providing a traditional neck heel and the ultimate resonance.

61T & 61R Humbuckers For PAf Inspired Tones

As well as offering a classic Les Paul appearance, the Les Paul Faded HP Electric Guitar is equipped with 61R and 61T humbucker pickups. This powerful duo of humbucker pickups are perfect for achieving that classic PAF tone, and also offer extra projection for solos. Controlling these pickups is easy with the independent volume and tone controls, along with an upgraded and durable aviation grade toggle switch.

G Force Auto-Tuning System

Unlike other guitars from Gibson, their High Performance range all features the G-force self tuning system. This innovative system features a mechanical device, that is secured to the headstock. Each machine head contains a small servo motor that can wind the string up or down. Simply push the on button and strum to see this device in action, and perfectly tune your guitar. Not only does the G-force tuning system provide standard tunings, it also offers alternate and custom tunings, tuning to instruments that are in tune with themselves but not to concert pitch, adding pitch offsets to individual strings, and tuning with a capo. Powered by a rechargeable battery, the G-force system provides up to 100 tunings on one single charge, and also allows for manual tuning.

Titanium Zero-Fret Adjustable Nut

The Zero-Fret adjustable nut is a superior nut design in Gibson’s High-Performance series of guitars, due to its exceptional adjustability to match various playing styles. This innovative nut benefits from an all-titanium construction for extreme durability, and a retaining screw so the nut stays in place when you change strings. Like with bridge adjustments, the Zero-Fret nut allows you to adjust the height and angle, for the optimum feel.

Aluminium Tune-O-Matic Bridge Enhances String Resonance

The Les Paul Faded HP Electric Guitar features a tune-o-matic bridge, which is an extremely popular fixed bridge type due to its stability, reliability, comfortable playing position and impressive sustain. Adjusting the string action and intonation is extremely simple with a tune-o-matic bridge. Simply adjust the height of the bridge with the mounting rods to alter the action and screw in or out the bridge saddles to achieve perfect intonation.
