Gibson 2023 Les Paul Classic – Transparent Cherry, Modern Playability with Vintage Vibe

No sales tax for customers outside California.

The 2023 Gibson Les Paul Classic delivers the look, feel, and tone of a vintage Les Paul with modern updates for today's players.

Featuring a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top and a slim taper neck profile, this Les Paul offers excellent sustain, fast playability, and classic styling.

Loaded with zebra-coil 60s Burstbucker pickups, it delivers powerful, articulate tones with a touch of vintage growl—ideal for blues, rock, and beyond.

Coil-tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass via push/pull controls give you added tonal versatility, making this USA-made guitar a true modern classic.

This example has seen a few upgrades.  The Gotoh tuners were added without changes to the headstock.  The original tuners are included.  The blank truss rod cover was swapped for the original, which is engraved with the word "Classic".  The original part is included.  The frets were professionally replaced with jumbos.  The work was impeccably performed.

The rest of the guitar is original.  It is in excellent cosmetic condition.  The guitar set up perfectly with a set of 10-46 strings, and there is room in the truss rod for future neck relief adjustments.  

The original Gibson hard case is included, along with all the paperwork and goodies that accompanied it from the Gibson factory.
