2014 GIBSON MEMPHIS ES-LES PAUL - WITH ORIGINAL HARDSHELL CASE!!
6 LBS!
AMAZINGLY COOL LIGHT WEIGHT LES PAUL!
The solidbody Les Paul Standard and semi-acoustic ES-335 are the two most influential electric guitars ever to hit their respective genres. Now Gibson brings them together in the ES-Les Paul, a stunning "meeting of minds" that blends the most important aspects of form and function from two immensely popular designs. Far more than merely a “chambered Les Paul” or an ES-335 "shaped like a single-cut", this entirely new guitar is the result of painstaking assessment of what makes each of these legendary models great, and a careful marriage of features by the skilled luthiers at Gibson Memphis.
With its laminated maple top, back and sides in the semi-acoustic construction of the ES-335, and a solid mahogany center block for enhanced sustain and feedback reduction, the ES-Les Paul elegantly marries the major characteristics of these two great Gibson guitars. Take away the telltale f-holes and the look is pure Les Paul, as is the glued-in mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and classic trapezoid inlays and LP-style headstock. Common to both—and carried through on the ES-Les Paul—are the traditional control section, toneful hardware, and dual humbucking pickups, a pair of MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) Humbuckers wound to accurately replicate the sonic glories of vintage PAFs. Light Burst finish with figured maple top and historic walnut stained Back and sides.
- ICONIC SEMI-ACOUSTIC MEETS SEMINAL HOLLOWBODY TO NAIL THE BEST OF TWO LEGENDARY ELECTRICS.
- A PAIR OF MHS HUMBUCKER PICKUPS NAIL THE STING AND ARTICULATION OF THE LEGENDARY PAFS.
