DISC Gibson Les Paul Special with Humbuckers, Pelham Blue

Full Description

This pre-modded, hotrodded dual-humbucker guitar features classic hardware, and a high-gloss Pelham Blue finish. This is an astoundingly versatile guitar.

Great Construction

The Les Paul Special Humbucker is made from solid mahogany, a tonewood with sonic depth and richness that pulses through every note, yet always remains clear and articulate. A modification to the slab-bodied template, this guitar features a comfortable "belly scarf" on the back. The guitar's neck is made from quarter-sawn Grade C mahogany, carved to the fast, yet comfortable SlimTaper™ profile. The fingerboard is made of dark obeche, which is a rich-brown hardwood with great tone and durability. This Les Paul of course has the classic set of Tune-o-matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, with vintage-style, white-button tuners.

Humbucker Pickups

This guitar comes equipped with an open-coil 490R pickup in the neck position with a genuine Alnico II magnet for creamy, rich, warm tones. In the bridge position is a hotter, open-coil 498T pickup.with a stronger Alnico V magnet and extra turns of coil wire for added growl and punch in the "lead" position. Both provide excellent clarity and sustain, and they match nicely, with a balanced output and excellent round, funky tones when combined in the middle position.

Gigbag Included

This guitar comes with a padded Gibson gigbag, with an owner's manual.
