With its chunky wide neck and hefty non-weight relieved body this Gibson Les Paul Traditional represented one of the most true to original specs back in 2015. The example is in stunning ’Ocean Blue’ finish!

Lovely condition with the only notable thing being a couple of the knobs have some internal cracks as pictured - doesn’t affect function.

Like many 2015 models this one has had the robot tuners removed and replaced with aftermarket kluson-style locking tuners. Original Robots included which do work but don’t include a charger.

Here is what Gibson said back in 2015…

‘Zero Fret Adjustable Brass Nut

The new Gibson 2015 zero fret nut offers players stability and consistency in their tone and playing. Thanks to the unique, patent applied for design, open strings will sound consistent and a lower action can be achieved without the traditional problems.

Wider Neck For Comfort

For 2015 Gibson have given their guitar necks a major overhaul, and the results are stunning. Each guitar neck and fingerboard has been widened by .050'' - the result is a more comfortable feeling neck that is a joy to play. Gibson have also introduced thicker, one piece fingerboards that have been smooth sanded, buffed and treated with oil, giving you the best feeling Gibson neck ever.

New PLEK Machine Set-Up

Gibson have utilised the German manufactured PLEK machine for many years now - these incredible machines can scan a guitar and apply a perfect, accurate fret dress and action to the guitar. The result is that each Gibson guitar comes out of the box ready to play without any adjustments required. For 2015, Gibson have fine-tuned the PLEK set up, resulting in one of the best feeling electric guitars ever made, with 27 percent lower fret wire across the fingerboard.

Les Paul's 100th Birthday

To mark the 100th birthday of the man who started it all, Les Paul, each 2015 Gibson USA guitar will feature a new signature on the headstock. The 'Les Paul 100' signature if a fitting tribute to one of the greatest players who ever lived. Each Gibson guitar in 2015 will also feature a high gloss lacquer finish for the ultimate in visual appeal, whilst each fingerboard will feature genuine Pearl inlays.

New Tune-O-Matic Bridge

For 2015, Gibson have made significant improvements to their famous 'Tune-O-Matic' bridge. The bridge can now be adjusted quickly using a hex wrench, allowing players to make fast and precise adjustments to the action of their guitar. When combined with the adjustable zero fret nut, the new bridge gives players an unprecedented level of quick set up options.
