Experience Next Level Sound

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V AAA Flame Top is a modern upgrade to a classic design. Known for its rich sound and beautiful craftsmanship, this guitar features a lightweight mahogany body and a stunning AAA flame maple top. It’s packed with advanced electronics that give players tons of options for shaping their tone. If you want a guitar that looks as good as it sounds, the Les Paul with its gorgeous finish is a show-stopper.

Tradbucker Pickups: Classic Tone, Endless Possibilities

At the center of the Les Paul Traditional Pro V are its Tradbucker pickups. These are designed to give you the famous Les Paul tone while adding more flexibility. The bridge pickup is slightly overwound for a strong, punchy sound, while the neck pickup is underwound for smooth, warm tones. Push/pull knobs let you split the pickups into single coils or explore different coil combinations, giving you clear, bright tones or focused mids. Whether you play rock, blues, or pop, this Les Paul can handle it all.

Advanced Electronics for Ultimate Control

The controls on the Les Paul Traditional Pro V look simple but are loaded with advanced features. The push/pull volume knobs let you switch between humbucker and single-coil modes. The treble tone control even works as a phase switch in single-coil mode, letting you experiment with different sounds. You can also switch between the inner and outer coils of the bridge pickup for even more options. This Les Paul  guitar is perfect for players who love to create their own unique tone.

Built for Comfort and Playability

The Les Paul Traditional Pro V is made with players in mind. The mahogany neck has an asymmetrical shape, making it comfortable for both chords and solos. The rosewood fingerboard has a compound radius and medium-jumbo frets, so bending strings and playing leads feels natural and smooth. The weight-relieved body makes the guitar lighter, so you can play longer without feeling tired. Plus, the locking Grover tuners and Nashville bridge ensure stable tuning and great sustain.

Includes a Durable Hardshell Case

Every Les Paul Traditional Pro V AAA Flame Top comes with a premium hardshell case. The case has plush lining and a sturdy neck cradle to protect your guitar during transport. It also has storage space for accessories like picks, cables, or straps, so you’ll always have what you need for your next performance.
