DISC Gibson ES-Les Paul Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherry Sunburst

Full Description

Maple / Poplar / Maple Body

Constructed from a semi-hollow Maple/Poplar/Maple body the ES-Les Paul produces a bright, tight and precise tone with a balanced low and crisp high response. Additionally the "F" shaped sound holes allow unique vibration circulation within the body creating a warm and resonant tone similar to larger hollowbody guitars. Although Maple is a naturally heavy wood the innovative ES-LP Centre Block weight relief system allows the ES-Les Paul to be a low, manageable weight whilst the sound waves resonate without limitation within the hollow airspace.

Historic Mahogany Neck & Truss Rod

Featuring a rounded "C" profile Mahogany neck with re-designed dimensions the ES-Les Paul offers an effortless playability whilst the set-in construction ensures maximum vibration transferal for long sustain and increased resonance. With an added thickness to the headstock stem the ES-Les Paul delivers a stronger and more stable construction ideal for hard wearing playing. The headstock adjustable historic truss rod provides superior adjustability due to the Teflon coating, larger diameter and robust Brass anchor.

MHS Humbucker Pickups

Loaded with two precise and articulate MHS Humbucker pickups in the bridge and neck position the Gibson ES-Les Paul can produce a range of dynamic and rich tones which complement the semi-hollow body design. Constructed from Alnico III bar magnets with scatter wound coils the MHS Humbuckers deliver a traditional vintage sound with a distinct and detailed attack. Including a volume and tone control for each pickup the ES-Les Paul can be fine-tuned and tweaked to provide a range of tones.

Bone Nut & Rolled Neck Binding

The Gibson ES-Les Paul employs a carefully fitted bone nut to provide an improved tone and sustain over traditional plastic and tusq nuts as it improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone. With a dark Rosewood fingerboard finished with Pearloid Trapezoid inlays the ES-Les Paul provides a smooth and quick playability whilst the rolled neck binding is rounded off to allow a comfortable fit to the contours of the hand.
