Gibson Les Paul Supreme Fireburst Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case

General

The Gibson Les Paul Supreme is back, bringing some sweet, high-end upgrades and mods with it. This sublime single-cut solid body retains the timeless Gibson-grade deluxe look of a triple-A figured maple top, but beneath all that tradition, you'll find a mahogany body that's been treated to some ultra-modern weight-relief, lightening the load and completing a stunningly balanced instrument. The mahogany neck has been set-in for that all-important resonance and stability while the heel has been specially rounded off with a modern contoured heel, granting comfortable access to the higher frets.

The Gibson Les Paul Supreme: Chic Playability

The dark ebony fretboard doesn't just add a chic look to the whole deal, but features a compound radius that shifts from flat at the headstock to even flatter at the body, supporting a firm grip on chords and riffs lower down and accurate control over licks and leads further up. The mother-of-pearl Super-Split block fretboard inlays, which extend to the headstock, are also something to behold and hark right back to the original models that Gibson was building in the forties.

Warm Rock Sound + All the Options

The top, the fretboard, and the headstock of this Supreme edition LP have been outlined with fresh white binding to complete the high-grade aesthetics. Meanwhile, the core sound packs all of that rich and familiar woody warmth, all framed by a light punch, and when amplified, this is translated with awesome finesse. The Burstbucker Pro+ at the bridge packs a touch more gain than the sweeter Pro variant at the neck, completing stunning tonal balance. Via the push-pull coil-tap and push-pull pure bypass/phase switches, this guitar can be taken through a world of sound. For good measure, Gibson has thrown in a hardshell case.
