Legendary Les Paul tone and performance
This sleek high performance version of the iconic Les Paul still retains everything that has made these guitars the go-to instrument for guitarists everywhere. The maple and mahogany body woods feature the calling-card carved top and deliver the warm and clear sustain that LP players demand. The Gibson 490R and 498T humbucking pickups, a favorite here at Sweetwater, combine the best qualities of vintage PAFs with the output and midrange attack modern players demand.
Modern updates for improved playability
New advancements in the Gibson HP models make the guitar's playability extremely fast and fluid. The neck boasts a wider Soloist fretboard for better string separation aiding in wide vibrato and two-handed tapping. The neck's Rounded '50s profile is familiar and comfortable to Les Paul devotees. The titanium adjustable string nut makes getting ideal action a snap. And the fast-access neck heel ensures nothing will inhibit your hand when playing high on the neck.
Fast, accurate tuning
The Next Generation G-Force tuning system on the Gibson HP models makes achieving perfect tuning easier and faster than ever before. Whether using the single-string or multi-string modes, just turn the G-force on, strum the string(s), and watch the system bring you up to pitch quickly and effortlessly. And the Next Generation G-Force can be turned off for manual tuning if the battery is running low. Luckily the rechargeable design allows for quick powering of your G-Force.
