Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard, Antique Silverburst Overview
The Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard is a faithful recreation of the Tool guitarist's personal axe. Rocking the coveted Silverburst finish that's been highly sought after for its rarity, the inimitable style of a tonal trailblazer is yours to command. If that wasn't enough to convince you, it's been shaped to give you an authentic riffing experience, thanks to a '70s neck profile with volute. Jones' signature and personal artwork adorn this beauty to give it his personal seal of approval.
So, it looks and feels the part, but how does it sound? Fiery, high-output and full-throttle is the answer to that! Featuring an uncovered DC High-Gain Humbucker in the bridge for unbridled, wrathful tones and a covered Burstbucker 1 at the neck for a more refined, clipped sound, you've got a set up that approaches the original. Wrapped up in Gibson's impeccable craftsmanship and superb attention to detail, this is one mean tone machine worthy of Jones himself.

View Full DescriptionAccurate and effortless
Shaped in the style of Adam's legendary Silverburst, this signature Standard gives you an authentically shaped neck. Carved into a '70s rounded profile with neck volute you have the same comfortable grip and stable riff platform enjoyed by the Tool tone master. Play for hours without fatiguing thanks to this curved outline, and delight in the ample room you'll have at the high frets due to this ergonomic shape.
Paired with a luscious ebony fretboard, you'll have the freedom to riff with pace and complexity. Due to its natural oils and smooth character, manoeuvring around the registers is a breeze. You'll be mastering the tricky Jones techniques before you know it! Set with mother-of-pearl inlays for the premium Gibson look, it's a fretboard which really pops.
Punch through with these pickups
Fire your imagination. Two powerful pickups provide the muscle for music. Just like the original, this Adam Jones standard features a hotter, searing setup in the bridge position. This DC High-Output Humbucker does exactly what you'd think, and that's throw out some molten hot tones. Like the original, it's uncovered to extract maximum output. Perfect for voicing the biting, attention-grabbing pulses found in Tool's melodies and chords, this pickup is loaded with enough cut to slice through any dense mix.
It's not all about extremes though, and thanks to the Burstbucker 1 slotted in the neck you can roll in refined, clipped tones for detailed rhythm and fatter chords. Single note solos also shine on this pickup, which evokes strong mids and rich low-end.
Les Paul level detail
While this is a true adaption of Adam's iconic guitar, it's also loaded with those Les Paul features we know and love. Firstly, hand wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors allow you precision adjustment of your sound. Unlike some PCB linked controls, you'll notice an exact difference between each volume and tone level.
And of course, pinpoint accurate intonation and solid tuning stability will be yours with the Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover Rotomatic tuners. Play with confidence as your sound will remain on-point and accurate throughout a whole set. Speaking of sets, you'll be able to get gigging straight away with the included hardshell case that'll keep your Antique Silverburst pristine.
