The Gibson Les Paul truly is an icon. There haven't been many electric guitars that have had such a lasting effect on music. This striking single-cut is coveted worldwide for its stunning curves, endless sustain, and guttural tone. With Musician's Friend offering a rather substantial $300 off the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V, you could now join the ranks of famous Les Paul players for a whole lot less.
The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V has everything you'd expect to see on a Les Paul - a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, trapezoid inlays, mother of pearl Gibson logo, and a set of vintage-style pickups. Although there are a few differences that make this gorgeous guitar stand out from the crowd. Gone is the flashy flame maple in favor of mahogany - we must say we think this gives the guitar a tasteful new look.
The Grover locking machine heads and an asymmetrical neck give the Traditional Pro V a very contemporary feel, while the beautiful satin finish continues the understated and modern look.
Despite the name, this Les Paul has a few non-traditional secrets hidden under the hood. As well as the deep, punchy sound of humbuckers, you can also achieve those sparkling clean sounds, only available from single-coil guitars. The push/pull pots allow you to either coil-split or coil-tap (choose whichever you like via a dip switch in the back cavity) the Tradbucker pickups. If that wasn't enough, the rhythm tone push/pull activates a phase switch, giving you access to the famous Peter Green out-of-phase sound.
Amazon Prime Day isn't far away. This year the sale takes place on 21 and 22 June, and we'll be sharing all the best guitar offers and more on our Prime Day music deals page.
