Burstbucker Pro pickups deliver PAF humbucker tone

When it comes to capturing that classic Les Paul tone, nothing beats the sound of this Les Paul Standard's PAF-style Burstbucker Pro humbucking pickups. Alnico V magnets capture the subtle variations in true humbucker tone, thanks to historically accurate "unmatched" bobbins. Plug into your favorite amp, and experience smooth low-end response, complex midrange crunch, and sweet-sounding highs. These pickups sound great clean or they can be used to push your amp into overdrive for the fat, smoky sound you can only get with a humbucker. Burstbucker Pro pickups are wax potted to minimize feedback and noise.

Dip switches give you access to over 100 tonal options

Les Paul Standards are some of the most sonically versatile electric guitars Gibson has ever offered. This guitar's tone and volume controls are a push-pull design, and five internal dip switches determine how these controls work. By setting these dip switches to your preference, you can access coil splits, coil taps, and a highpass filter for each pickup; determine if you want the pickups to be in or out of phase; and even engage a transient suppression circuit for avoiding unwanted output peaks when recording direct.

Plek'd for precision playability

This Les Paul Standard feels fast and precise, thanks in large part to Plek processing. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own. Each note rings loud and clear, and the fret edges feel smooth as silk.
