Electric Soul presents a Gibson Les Paul Standard in a modern, ergonomic, and visually striking High Performance (HP) version.
This is a 2016 model with a truly beautiful flame maple top and a rare, popular Amber finish. The guitar looks bold and modern while still based on a classic design.
The body is made of mahogany with Ultra-Modern Weight Relief and weighs 4.17 kg. It has a very comfortable, slim Slim Taper neck with an asymmetrical shape and
a changing radius. It also features a Fast Access Heel, which makes it easier to reach the highest frets.
The hardware includes features typical for the 2016 HP series: a Tune-O-Matic bridge with titanium saddles and an adjustable zero-fret nut made of titanium, allowing precise string setup.
The electronics are also upgraded. It has well-known Burstbucker Pro pickups, but in this HP version you get more sound options. The guitar includes coil splitting, extra functions via push/pull knobs (neck pickup polarity and pure bypass), and an internal DIP switch for many custom settings. This makes it one of the most versatile Les Paul Standard models made by Gibson.
The HP series also includes the Gibson G-Force system, which allows very fast tuning and quick tuning changes. This version works very well and is fun to use.
An interesting detail is the pickguard mounted directly to the pickup rings, so there is no need to drill holes in the top. Overall, this guitar is a unique and modern take on the classic Les Paul, appealing especially to players who like innovative solutions.
The guitar is in excellent condition, very close to new. For its age, it looks amazing.
Technically, everything works perfectly. The frets are in great condition.
Finally, it comes with an original aluminum case from the HP series, which is quite rare and collectible. It has a few small scratches (which is normal), but it is very solid.
The set also includes all original documents.
