Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus

The Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus is an electric guitar that has all the traditional features you expect from a Les Paul: mahogany body and set neck, figured maple top and a pair of Gibson's awesome '57 Classic humbucker pickups. The Plus on this model is the gorgeous, figured maple top - just the right touch on this iconic rock machine. One not-so-traditional improvement the neck has been Plek'd on Gibson's Plek machine. The neck and frets are analyzed by a computer-controlled robot and then the frets are filed to an accuracy of a hundredth of a millimeter for optimal action and intonation without string buzzing.
