Gibson has revealed a 40th Anniversary version of The Paul, which is set to join its back-to-basics 2019 range.
The Paul is famed for its solid walnut body, which continues with this reissue’s Grade A quarter-sawn specimen, finished in Vintage Gloss.
Besides the rounded-profile neck and rosewood fingerboard, The Paul is packing a calibrated set of pickups: the 490R in the neck, plus the higher-output 498T in the bridge.
Reviving The Paul is an intriguing move from Gibson, and makes us wonder if there are any other stripped-back reissues in store from the company, under the guiding hand of new CEO James ‘JC’ Curleigh…
The Paul is available soon for $1,399 - pop on over to Gibson for more.
