Electronics & Features

One of the defining features of the Les Paul Classic is its factory-installed 496R and 500T ceramic humbuckers. These pickups produce significantly more output than traditional PAF-style pickups while maintaining excellent clarity and note definition. They excel at everything from classic rock and blues to hard rock and heavier styles.

The slim '60s neck profile is another reason these guitars have become so popular. It offers fast, effortless playability while retaining the unmistakable Les Paul feel and sustain.

Combined with the solid mahogany body and carved maple top, the result is a guitar with outstanding resonance, sustain, and versatility.

Tone & Feel

This Les Paul delivers everything players expect from a great early-'90s Gibson.

The 496R neck pickup produces warm, articulate cleans and smooth lead tones, while the 500T bridge pickup delivers powerful mids, tight bass, and plenty of output for aggressive rock tones. Together they provide an incredibly versatile range of sounds suitable for virtually any style of music.

The Slim '60s neck feels fast and comfortable, making long playing sessions effortless, while the substantial 9 lb 12 oz weight contributes to the excellent sustain and resonance these guitars are known for.
