Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V Satin Electric Guitar Satin Wine Red

This is a work horse guitar. It's not made to look pretty but is built to be versatile. I have had, played and worked on over 100 les Paul's and this one rings more with all Mahogany body and satin finish. A real gem for studio and Live playing.

This is only the second guitar I have ever owned, I bought it using money I saved up from my first job and it was worth it, I play it nearly every day and have had no problems with it. I bought it almost two years ago at this point, and it still plays good as new. I wouldn't describe myself as someone who knows a whole lot about the workings of a guitar, but from what I can tell, it works perfectly fine and isn't showing signs of any issues. The neck is holding up and it still has the same shine it did when I got it. The only complaint I would have is that it is considerably heavier than any other guitar I've played.

After 20 years of playing I finally got the one guitar in my collection I was missing,a Gibson les paul. Got it on sale during the guitar -a-thon sale in May '24. Played several different LP models from the tribute to the standard 50's and 60's. I personally liked the trad Pro V and the standard 60's the best as far as feel,sound and looks. When I seen the trad Pro V on sale I jumped on it and took advantage of the opportunity since it's a fair bit more affordable than the standard. I wondered if I would regret not getting a standard but I absolutely have not .... this trad pro V is spot on. Everything about it is perfect. It's gorgeous (satin iced tea),the asymmetrical neck feels awesome and is a joy to play,and the tradbuckers sounds phenomenal through my crate half stack and my EVH 5150 combo. I mainly play classic rock,newer rock (2000's),blues and country and this does well with all. I also have a '03 fender standard strat,'23 fender Nashville tele,and a '05 Gibson SG faded. Love them all for different reasons. Definitely recommend this LP if you are looking for one. Love mine!!!

I received the guitar today. It arrived in a black case instead of the usual brown Gibson. The neck is very bowed. It looks like it sat on a shelf drying out for years. I have never received a Gibson in worse shape. I will test it later and decide if it is worth getting a professional setup. If the electronics function correctly and a setup is warranted, it will need a few weeks with a hydro system first. I usually buy guitars from a different retailer that specializes in taking care of the instrument before delivering to a customer. GC appears to not care about the customer experience. I am let down again. 3 stars for the retailer.

My Awesome wife bought me this beauty.Versatile with the push/pull knobs,beefy tone,frets are nice,just a joy to play,I wanted this guitar for a long time after owning and selling my many strats.It just wasn't me.Heavy?Absolutely is but you don't hear the pros complaining about it.

Good guitar all around
