Like most Les Pauls, the Traditional Pro V sports an all-mahogany build, a tonewood known not only for its excellent sustain and well-rounded tone but also its weight. Fortunately, though, lengthy gigs or standing-up practice sessions are a breeze with this model, as it features a nine-hole weight relief design, helping it clock in at about 9lbs, or just over 4kg.

Electronics come by way of a pair of Gibson-designed Alnico V-equipped Tradbucker humbuckers – which can comfortably handle anything from high-gain riffs to mellower cleans – controlled via two volume and two tone knobs, the former of which each boast push-pull functionality for tapping into single-coil tones.

Other features include a satin-finished 24.75” scale neck for easy playability, 22-fret compound-radius fingerboard with trapezoid inlays, Nashville-style bridge, aluminum tailpiece, Grover locking tuners and chrome hardware. 

The Gibson Les Paul is inarguably one of the most recognisable and renowned electric guitar models ever designed. Its various iterations have been played by the most regal of rock royalty, including Slash, Jimmy Page, ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons and Randy Rhoads – to name a metaphorical drop in the ocean – and you can get your hands on one today for a fraction of the usual cost.

Savings of this magnitude are usually hard to come by, so if this guitar piques your interest make sure you get on it ASAP to avoid disappointment. And if you’re not a Les Paul aficionado, head to our Guitar Center Black Friday deals page for even more great offers from the retail giant.
