Used Electric Guitar!
Just in on consignment!
Used! Just in on consignment from one of our regular clients. Since its introduction, The Gibson Les Paul Special has faithfully served the working musician as a reliable, professional-quality electric guitar at an affordable price. The new Les Paul Special Pro continues this tradition by offering ample bang-for-the-buck and more value than ever packed into this iconic workhorse. Key features of the Les Paul Special Pro include a 60′ slim-taper neck with a rich, high gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, Alnico V Burstbucker Pro pickups, push/pull coil split function for each pickup on the volume pots, cream neck binding and pickup rings.
Burstbucker Pro Pickups
At the heart of the Gibson Les Paul Special Pro are the Burstbucker Pro rhythm and lead humbucking pickups. The Burstbucker Pro pickups feature an Alnico V magnet (instead of the Alnico II), which offers slightly higher output and allows preamps to be driven a little harder to achieve a more natural break-up. Like all Burstbuckers, the Burstbucker Pro has asymmetrical coils true to the original PAFs which supply a more open sound. The Burstbucker Pro pickups are also wax potted to prevent squealing feedback.
Burstbucker Tonal Characteristics
The Burstbucker Pro Lead and Rhythm pickups constitute a versatile and well-calibrated set that offers extremely good output balance from all switch settings. In the neck position, the pickup gives you juicy, warm, creamy vocal-like tones with outstanding clarity, while the bridge position excels at everything from bright jangle through a clean amp, to chunky rhythm through a crunchy amp, to wailing overdrive with near-infinite sustain through a high-gain amp. Selected together, the pair provides tones from funky to greasy, depending upon amp and effects settings.
Like all our used / vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get. NO serious issues, dings, dents or repairs.
