When I think about a great guitar, a couple of brands come to mind. The two brands that I live and die by are Fender, and Gibson. Although I like both brands, I am partial to Gibson because of one particular Guitar. That guitar is the Gibson Les Paul Traditional. This guitar is phenomenal to say the least. I am so impressed with this guitar that I don't think I could ever express its total worth in words. However, I can tell you about some of the near perfect qualities that you get with this guitar. If you need a reason to buy this guitar, here are five good reasons you should consider.
Reason 1 (The Neck): The first thing that caught my attention about the neck of the Gibson Les Paul Traditional guitar, is that its constructed with mahogany in the "rounded 50s", musicians love this about Gibson. The second thing was that the strength between the neck and body. Gibson went the extra mile to reinforce the connection between the neck and body using the Mortis and Tenon joint. This is stronger than just a single slab of wood. Gibson also uses Franklin Tite Bond 50 glue (the best in the business) to form the connection at the Mortis and Tenon Joint. These variables about the neck of this guitar are second to none. This leads me to my second reason you should buy this instrument.
Reason 2 (The Pickups): Every good guitar player that has quality knowledge of guitars, is very interested in the pickups on the instrument. The Gibson Les Paul Traditional uses signature double coil humbuckers. These humbuckers are the driving force behind the evolution of rock music. They are very intense pickups and produce a sound that is very unique. In addition to this unique sound, the pickups are very easy to adjust with a screwdriver. If you raise the pickup closer to the string you will get more punch, and sound output. These are in my opinion the best factory pickups you can ask for.
Reason 3 (The Fingerboard): I wont say a lot about this top of the line finger board. However, the few words that I mention will let you know it's the best in class of guitars. First, It has 22 alloy wire frets. If you are a guitar nut, you know that 22 alloy frets is very desirable. Secondly, it's made of rosewood (enough said). There is a slight angle near the top of the neck; this gives musicians an added luxury of comfort.
Reason 4 (Body Design and Weight): In my opinion, Gibson has the best design that enhances the musical experience of the musician playing it than any of its competitors. This includes and arched top and a chambered back, to add resonance, and reduce weight. The method that they used to increase the playability and further decrease the weight is one of brilliance. They simply cut out a portion of the treble side, where the neck joint meets. Before the body is fitted with the necessary hardware, it weighs just less than 5 lbs.
Reason 5 (The Hardware): At this point, I'm convinced that you are sold on this guitar. I will only list the hardware so that you are aware of what you're getting in terms of hardware. The guitar is loaded with durability, and has a look of elegance. To add to that look is hardware that leaves you breathless. It has 14/1 classic looking tuners, aluminum strap buttons, a tune-omatic bridge, black speed knobs, and a black/white vinyl truss rod.
As you can see, I've concluded that the Gibson Les Paul Traditional is a great buy. A good companion to this guitar is the Fender Frontman 212R guitar amplifier. Well, don't just sit there; make your next move toward your very own Gibson Les Paul Traditional.
