Description
What makes this guitar special: The LP-295 Goldtop was Gibson's Guitar of the Month for April 2008 and sets the classic appointments of the renowned ES-295 onto the body & neck of the celebrated Les Paul. The standard Les Paul cutaway gives way to the wider Florentine cutaway normally found on such legendary models as the Byrdland & ES-175. The hand-painted, cream-colored pickguard with gold flowers is also styled after the ES-295, as are the split parallelogram inlays, and the chrome Bigsby tailpiece. Graphite nut and bridge saddles offer better string control when using the Bigsby. A pair of '57 Classics deliver warm, full tones with a balanced response, packing that iconic Gibson PAF humbucker crunch. The LP-295 is versatile enough for all styles of music & like all of Gibson's Guitars of the Month, production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
