Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul '100' Deluxe in Goldtop finish. Made in the USA in 2015, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with a Maple top, SlimTaper Mahogany neck and 22 fret bound Rosewood fingerboard. This guitar is equipped with a Brass nut, Gibson Deluxe tuning machines and Chrome Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The pickups are a pair of Gibson LP Mini humbuckers, these are wired to modified controls, with a 3-Way Toggle Switch, Bridge volume w/ push/pull coil-split, Neck volume w/ push/pull coil-split, Master tone, Mini-Switch 15db Turbo Boost.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the SlimTaper profile feeling slender in the hand without being too thin. This creates a feeling of dependability whilst remaining articulate enough for technical playing. The 12” Rosewood fretboard feels smooth under the fingers when playing, and assists with fluid navigation of the 24.75" scale. The traditional 12" radius works in conjunction with the large fret size to ensure that string bending & vibrato techniques are very well accommodated, making for a truly authentic yet refined Les Paul playing experience.

The Mini Humbuckers installed in this guitar are sought after for their unique sound, famously favoured by Pete Townshend of The Who used these pickups during the 1970's. With a tone that is somewhere between a full-size humbucker and a single coil, the sound is reminiscent of a PAF humbucker. Their smooth attack adds a grind when the amp is pushed into distortion, and the physically smaller size of the pickup results in a more mid-focused and brighter tone. The Mini-Switch 15db Turbo boost offers an active level boost, this adds an extra push with a control for the gain level in the circuit. A very versatile guitar with a perfectly balanced blend of traditional and modern appointments. This guitar truly is a fantastic celebration of its inventor's 100th birthday.
