Making a triumphant return, the Gibson Les Paul Supreme re-emerges into the limelight. Celebrated for its lavish design, this Les Paul is a testament to Gibson USA's meticulous craftsmanship. The AAA Flame Maple top, gracefully complemented by intricate Super Split Block inlays and multi-layered binding, ensures the Les Paul Supreme is an absolute showstopper. For those with an eye for gorgeously grained tops, the Les Paul Supreme promises to enchant.
Reintroduced for 2023, this Les Paul Supreme introduces several enhancements aimed at optimizing playability. With a robust Mahogany body, paired with Gibson's state-of-the-art Ultra Modern Weight Relief, it strikes a balance between reduced heft and the profound resonance inherent to a full-bodied Les Paul. This is a notable evolution, deviating from previous Les Paul Supreme versions that leaned more towards hollow constructions.
The Les Paul Supreme's Mahogany neck is shaped with the fan-favorite SlimTaper design, married to an Ebony fingerboard that's beautifully accented with dazzling Mother of Pearl Super Split Block inlays and a single-edge fretboard bind. The contemporary heeled joint further augments accessibility to the uppermost frets.
Decked in shimmering gold-plated fixtures, the Les Paul Supreme showcases locking Grover Keystone tuners, a sleek Aluminum Nashville Tune-o-Matic Bridge, an Aluminum anchoring tailpiece, and is powered by Gibson Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker + pickups at the neck and bridge, respectively.
The headstock boasts a standout inlay, reminiscent of a revered Gibson motif tracing back to the 1940s. As with the fretboard embellishments, this eye-catching design is painstakingly shaped from genuine Mother-of-Pearl.
On the electronics frontier, the Les Paul Supreme features a sophisticated control setup. Each pickup volume comes with its coil-tap capability, while the tone knobs double as a Pure Bypass/Phase toggle, extending the guitar's sonic palette.
Answering the passionate call of fervent fans and players, the Les Paul Supreme reclaims its spot in Gibson USA's lineup. The return of this guitar is wholly welcomed, and presents a harmonious blend of unparalleled features and charismatic allure to the refined musician.
