With the Gibson ES-Les Paul Special II Iced Tea Sunbust, the Gibson Memphis division presents a variant of the established semi-acoustic electric guitar in Les Paul form, in which the sound is in the foreground. Equipped with a classic Semi-Hollow body and pickups from the '57 Gibson Classic family, the guitar delivers the warm, semi-acoustic sound while offering comfortable handling.
The Special II Gibson ES-Les Paul Iced Tea Sunburst is based on the proven semi-acoustic construction and has a body of three-ply maple laminate with a solid centre block. Accordingly, the semi-acoustic provides a warm basic sound with a woody resonance and high insensitivity to feedback. The strong neck with the " Rounded C" profile offers classic playing comfort, which lets every lick go out of your fingers.
For the electric sound conversion the Gibson ES-Les Paul Special II Iced Tea Sunburst is equipped with a Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker at the neck and one at Super '57 Classic Humbucker the bridge. The pickups carry the genes of legendary PAFs and, thanks to Alnico II magnets, deliver a warm sound with present highs that captures that of Timbre the semi-acoustic electric guitar with organic dynamics and lets every note played sing with a vocal voice.
