Description
What makes this guitar special? This Les Paul Studio Hot Rod is one of the most aptly named guitars in the line. The pickups have a ton of power and dish out loads of thick and rich humbucker tone, yet with the addition of the coil-splitting volume controls, can be thinned out into great-sounding single-coils. The neck is very easy to move around and will be familiar and comfortable to a wide variety of players, especially those who love Gibsons. The Ebony finish is complete with hot rod pinstriping around the exterior of the top and gives this guitar the appropriate hot rod look that it deserves. In addition, it is very clean and has been given a great setup by our techs so it plays even better.
Condition: This guitar is in excellent condition overall. It does have a few light surface scratches throughout the body and neck from being played, but otherwise has very few marks and still looks fantastic. The frets show only light wear and still have a full lifetime of use left in them. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions as it should.
Body: Single cutaway mahogany body with a maple top in Ebony w/ Blue and White Pinstripe finish. Chrome tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece. Black speed knobs.
Neck: Mahogany neck with .818 - .963 profile and 12” radius composite fingerboard. 1.695” Tektoid nut. Chrome Grover tuning machines.
Electronics: 496R humbucker in the neck and 500T humbucker in the bridge. 2 x push/pull coil-splitting volume, 2 x tone controls. 3-way pickup selector.
Weight: 9.55 lbs
Playability/Sound: The humbuckers in this guitar sound massive and yet can still be split into great-sounding single-coils, making them ultimately versatile. The neck is easy to move around and will be familiar to many Gibson players.
Case: Includes hardshell case.
