Description
The Les Paul Recording couples Gibson's legendary tone & playability with the very best of today's electronics to create a dream instrument for studio guitarists. Two versatile pickups route through a premium, industry-standard Jensen audio transformer for a balanced low-impedance output that can go direct into pro mixers or computer audio interfaces. Or, select the High-Z out for traditional guitar amps. "Fat Tap" coil splitting on each pickup, a phase-reverse switch & ground lift switch for the Low-Z output dramatically extend the Les Paul Recording's versatility. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it's ready to play straight out of the case.
