This Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded features a smooth, unbound body professionally custom painted with acrylics and over coated with a protective layer of water based non-yellowing polyurethane. A '59 rounded neck profile with a rosewood fingerboard and two screaming Burstbucker Pro pickups give you a world of classic Les Paul playability. The '59 neck profile is a nice compromise between the original chunky neck and the "slim tapered" carve that followed in the '60s.

Classy pearloid trapezoid markers give this Les Paul Studio Faded the classic Les Paul feel, and a modified heel shape gives you easy access to the upper frets, letting you really dig into your solos! Thanks to a pair of Burstbucker Pro pickups, the Les Paul Studio Faded also gives you that big, fat, smoky humbucker sound. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - this Les Paul has the classic sounds you want and expect from a Gibson.
