Our Take:
The Les Paul Classic from Gibson gives you a hearty helping of the early ’60s era Les Pauls, with a modern twist. The tried-and-true Les Paul stylings are there: Mahogany back, Maple top, and Rosewood fingerboard. However, two Burstbucker 61R & 61T zebra open-coil pickups and four push-pull pots deliver powerful, crisp Les Paul tones, and tons of room for sonic exploration. Shown here in Translucent Cherry.
Gibson’s Take:
The Gibson Les Paul Classic combines the early 60’s style Les Paul model with some functional and time-tested modifications. As expected, the LP Classic is crafted with a mahogany back and maple top coupled with a slim taper mahogany neck and bound, rosewood fingerboard. Burstbucker 61R & 61T zebra, open-coil pickups provide classic Gibson tones from the era with a bit of extra punch thanks to the open coils. The control assembly features 4 push-pull pots which provide choices of coil tapping, phase switching and pure bypassing for functional and versatile sonic variety.
