Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus 2013 - HS

The Gibson 2013 Les Paul Standard Plus maintains Gibson’s dedication to improving their most famous models to keep up with consumer demand. Improving the legendary Les Paul is never an easy task, but the Gibson 2013 Les Paul Standard demonstrates an elegant revision of the true classic, featuring defined upgrades and new qualities that make this guitar arguably the best Les Paul Standard ever produced.

The Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus 2013 features an upgraded AAAA Flamed Maple Top and a fast 60s Neck Profile with Compound Radius Rosewood Fingerboard. The 2013 Les Paul Standard benefits from Gibson’s New “Modern” Weight Relieved body, providing unmatched balance, weight and most importantly; tone.

Designed to be the ultimate modern performance guitar, the Gibson 2013 LP Std Plus features Gibson’s Dual Burstbucker Pro Pickups with two push/pull volume and 2 push/pull tone controls, specifically designed for the new 2013 Les Paul Standard. The push-pull volume control switches offer a choice of either humbucking (down) or single coil (up) operation for each pickup, which also provides improved, frequency tuned coil tapping for a fatter single coil tone, better output balance and a more balanced output between the humbucking and single coil modes.

The new 2013 Les Paul Standard’s electronics offer a new level of tonal capabilities: The Bridge Pickup’s Tone push-pull switch routes the Bridge pickup directly to the jack bypassing the pickup selector, volume and tone controls for a true bypass (up) or normal control operation (down). The neck pickup’s tone push-pull switch allows players to switch between in-phase (down), or out-of-phase (up) when both pickups are combined, which can be used with both humbucking and single coil modes.
