This Gibson 2017 Les Paul Traditional comes in an exclusive finish and is a trip back in time to the Les Paul's golden era. A Les Paul inspired by the legendary late '50s Les Pauls, with all the benefits of modern-era Gibsons. From a distance—with its Traditional features and accurate maple top on a solid mahogany body—this Les Paul could be mistaken for a guitar kept under the bed since 1959. Get closer, though, and the magic reveals itself!

Once in your hand, Les Paul Traditional 2017 unveils subtle but incredibly significant advances: rolled binding, polished frets, and a rounded neck profile make this guitar extremely comfortable to play. Wired Tune-o-matic and stop-bar with steel posts deliver incredible resonance and sustain, while the Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbuckers with hand-wired Orange Drop tone caps crank out dynamic, expressive PAF-inspired tones.

Put it all together, and it's a superb take on the best of Les Paul models past, made for today's demanding player. It is delivered in a classic Gibson hardshell case with a Gibson multi-tool, a premium leather strap and a polishing cloth.
