New for the 2017 model year, the Les Paul Standard 2017 T takes Gibson's flagship Les Paul model and incorporates an array of innovative updated features. Providing an outstandingly comfortable playing experience that's paired with added sonic depth, the mahogany back of the Les Paul Standard 2017 T now employs Gibson's all-new Ultra-Modern weight relief pattern. The visual appeal of the striking Grade-AAA flame maple top is enhanced by your choice of Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Honey Burst, Bourbon Burst or Blueberry Burst finishes. Whether you're playing chords down by the nut or soloing up in the lead zone, the Les Paul Standard 2017 T offers incredible playability and a great fretting-hand feel thanks to its fast asymmetrical slim taper mahogany neck and its compound-radius rosewood fretboard with comfortably rolled cream binding.At the heart of this Les Paul Standard 2017 T are a set of upgraded BurstBucker Pro pickups. Based off of the blueprint for late '50s PAF humbuckers, these pickups will deliver all the vintage PAF growl and bite you crave. Blending classic Gibson tone with all the versatility demanded by today's modern player, these pickups both offer coil-tapping capabilities that can take you from that beefy humbucker tone to a single-coil snap instantly with the dual push/pull volume knobs. The independent tone controls also feature push/pull pots and will further broaden your tonal horizons. For reverse-phase tones just simply pull up tone control for the neck pickup or pop the bridge pickup's tone control up to tap into Gibson's innovative Pure Bypass setting, which routes that pickup straight through the output jack and into your amplifier, bypassing the volume and tone controls resulting in superb tonal clarity and scorching hot tones, perfect as an instant lead preset.The Les Paul Standard 2017 T comes complete with chrome-plated hardware including a set of Grover locking kidney tuning machines, an aluminum Tune-oGibson
