The benefits of a modern Gibson guitar and the appeal of a pawn shop prize — both are yours with the Gibson Les Paul Faded T. No, this guitar isn't relic'd. Rather, it's built to look and play like a Les Paul that has seen the insides of more than a few bars and clubs. The Les Paul Faded T's new-meets-old approach is exemplified in three key features: a SlimTaper maple neck shaped to mimic the natural wear of decades of playing; a weight-relieved mahogany body, which you'll be able and proud to strap on for hours at a time with its low weight and faded gloss finish; and a pair of Gibson 490 pickups that speak with a golden PAF-like tone, only with more bite and wax potting to reduce squeals.
