Description
So, why did this Les Paul get the honour of being named Supreme?
Gibson is excited to announce the return of the Les Paul Supreme. With a refreshed feature set, it is bound to overshadow everything else in sight and be one of the most exciting new releases of the year. It features a beautiful AAA-figured Maple top on a mahogany body with Ultra-Modern Weight Relief. The Mahogany neck has an Ebony fretboard with a compound radius and Super Split Block mother-of-pearl inlays.
The neck has a Modern Contoured Heel for exceptional upper fret access, and the headstock is adorned with a striking new mother-of-pearl inlay inspired by a design from the 1940s that was discovered in the Gibson archives. The Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker Pro + pickups are paired with push/pull Volume and Tone potentiometers for flexible coil tap, phase, and Pure Bypass switching. The three gorgeous finishes are elegantly highlighted with gold hardware, making this not only a great sounding and highly flexible instrument but also an exceptionally beautiful-looking modern rock machine!
Key Features
- Ultra-Modern Weight Relief – Through careful tweaking of the modern formula, the mad scientists at Gibson were able to further alleviate the weight of the instrument without budging on sound.
- Modern Contoured Heel – exceptional upper fret access!
- Burstbucker Pro Humbuckers – Fatter, meatier tone with more drive and attack. The Burstbucker Pro’s characteristic sweet harmonic complexity and crystalline clarity derive from its slightly unbalanced coil windings. Alnico 5 magnets are used in place of the traditional Alnico 2, yielding a fatter, meatier tone with more drive and attack, providing classic Gibson Patent Applied For tone with a hint of attitude.
