Body & Neck
The body is dense mahogany and non-weight relieved, with a gorgeous AA figured maple top that’ll have you transfixed from the offset. The maple top also adds a little sparkle to an already characterful sound without compromising the typical resonance you’d expect from traditional mahogany Les Pauls.
The neck features the traditional Gibson rounded profile with a luxurious rosewood fretboard. The use of mahogany in both the neck and the body is what gives these guitars their famed neverending sustain – every note sings like you wouldn’t believe!
Pickups & Electronics
The Burstbucker is based on the ground-breaking PAF formula, and aims to recreate the tone that put Gibson on the proverbial map. Here you’ve got a BB1 in the neck that perfectly compliments the rich combination of woods. In the bridge you have a slightly hotter BB2, designed to give you heaps of extra bite without adding any noise. The hand-wired electronics feature orange drop capacitors, famous amongst luthiers for being a crucial ingredient in truly vintage tones.
Hardware
You may have also noticed the beautiful but understated nickel-plated hardware and kluson-style tuners that Gibson have opted for. The ABR bridge and stop-bar are made of aluminium, a surprisingly resonant material – combine these elements and you have a polished, authentically traditional look with stunning tonal qualities to match.
