In the world of electric guitars, does it get any more iconic than a Gibson Les Paul? The innovative result of a collaboration between Gibson president Ted McCarty and world-renowned guitar great Les Paul, the Gibson Les Paul signature model has set the standard for the electric guitar. Through generations of players and a wide array of musical genres, nothing gets it done quite like a good Les Paul. Dynamic, fat, smooth, powerful yet subtle—all with singing sustain.

The Les Paul Standard retains most of the specifications of the 1957 iteration of the model, but it always has some modern touches and features that add to the design. This 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard features the traditional construction of a set-in Mahogany neck and a Mahogany body with a carved book-matched, two-piece Flame Maple top. This one sports Gibson's Translucent Amber finish, which sets off the figure of the Flame Maple. Traditional trapezoid inlays provide a roadmap for its solid Rosewood fingerboard, and Grover Rotomatic tuning machines keep the guitar nicely in tune.

Under the hood, this 2012 Les Paul Standard features two '57 Classic humbuckers, which provide an authentic recreation of the original Patent-Applied-For design. They provide warm, full tone and thick humbucker crunch when needed. There's a ton of flexibility with the traditional volume and tone controls, but this particular iteration of the LP Standard packs a lot of popular modifications direct from the factory. All four control knobs are push/pull pots, opening up a wide variety of sounds! Each pickup's volume control is a coil tap, unlocking single-coil tones. When both pickups are tapped, the middle position is hum canceling. When you pull the neck tone pot out, it reverses the phase for percussive, cutting out-of-phase sounds (a la Peter Green). When you pull the bridge tone pot out, the bridge pickup is routed directly to the output jack, which practically sets your amp on fire (Billy Gibbons would approve!).

This 2012 Les Paul Standard is in excellent condition with no history of repairs or issues. It shows some minor superficial cosmetic wear, especially to the back and back control cavity cover (see photos), but it is free of any severe dings or scratches. It includes its original pickguard, which was never installed so there are no pilot holes drilled into the body. It also includes its original hardshell case.
