The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Heritage Cherry Sunburst Japan Limited Edition is a single-cut electric guitar with a flamed maple top, 1959 Tribute humbucker pickups and the G-Force tuning system. This Japan Limited Edition Les Paul was originally built for the Japanese market and is now available for the first time in Europe.
The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Japan Limited features a body is made of low-density mahogany, fitted with traditional 9-Hole Weight Relief. The body is completed by a maple top, the flame of which glimmers through the sunburst finish. A slim mahogany neck with a fast "slim taper" profile and a saddle width of 1.67” offers comfortable playability.
Two Gibson 1959 Tribute humbucker pickups feature Alnico II magnets and a hot wound screw-coil to deliver authentic vintage sounds in the style of the legendary PAF humbucker of the 1950s. This electric guitar convinces with a warm, yet transparent sound, and organic dynamics. The pickups are managed using a three-way toggle switch as well as individual volume and tone controls.
An innovative G-Force Tuning system is combined with a classic saddle from Graph Tech to eliminate the need for a separate tuner. In addition to the standard tuning, drop and alternative tunings are also available. In addition, the tried and tested combination of the Tune-O-Matic bridge and the stop bar tailpiece ensures a precisely adjusted intonation and a comfortable string position.
Probably the cloesest thing to a R9 you can get for 1/4 of the money! Crazy playability, maple top and the overall quality is top notch! Fast delivery and great quality control/check from music-store! Thank you!! :))
I’ve longed for a Gibson Les Paul since I started playing 10+ years ago. I’ve owned a couple of epiphones but was always scared to take the plunge and buy a Gibson. After much deliberation, I decided to take the plunge and invest, expecting, for my budget (£1500ish) to be going 2nd hand. However, 2nd hand soon went out of the window thanks to this superb deal. Do not hesitate. Swift delivery and super product.
Gibson made these for the Japanese market in a limited batch for 2015. They also made Flying V's and non-reverse Firebirds for Japan that year. As you can see it doesn't have the brass nut and funky neck width the regular run 2015s had, nor does it have the Les Paul 100 and hologram. The only characteristic of a '15 is the fret over binding placement.
