Gibson 2015 ES-Les Paul Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar Heritage Cherry Sunburst

The Gibson 2015 ES-Les Paul Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar is the perfect marriage of a Les Paul and an ES-335. This remarkable combination yields powerful tones and a lightweight playing feel, making it perfect for the working musician at a long gig or studio session. Includes hardshell case.

Gibson tradition and innovation come together with a long list of fabulous features in the ES-Les Paul including a powerful sound courtesy of PAF-style MHS pickups and total playing comfort thanks to its rounded 'C' neck profile. The semi-hollow nature of this guitar adds a unique color to the tone by allowing sound waves to resonate within the hollow airspace of the maple veneered body, around the F-holes, and throughout the solid glue joints. The result will amaze you.
