Gibson Les Paul Supreme Electric Guitar, AAA Flame Maple Top, Wine Red
After a considerable hiatus, the iconic Gibson Les Paul Supreme has made a triumphant return to production. Renowned for its opulent aesthetics, this Les Paul stands as one of Gibson USA’s most intricate offerings. With an AAA Flame Maple top adorned with exquisite Super Split Block inlays and multi-ply binding, the Les Paul Supreme unquestionably commands attention. If you possess a penchant for finely figured top guitars, the Les Paul Supreme is poised to captivate your musical sensibilities.
Fresh in for this 2023 release, the Les Paul Supreme boasts a bevy of upgraded specs designed to deliver an exceptionally comfortable playing experience. Crafted with a Mahogany body and integrated with Gibson’s innovative Ultra Modern Weight Relief system, this Les Paul strikes a harmonious balance between weight reduction and preserving the rich tonal character expected from a solid body Les Paul. This represents a substantial departure from prior iterations of the Les Paul Supreme, which featured significantly hollowed-out bodies.
The Mahogany neck of the Les Paul Supreme showcases the SlimTaper profile, an Ebony fingerboard adorned with striking Mother of Pearl Super Split Block inlays, and single-ply fretboard binding. Moreover, the neck incorporates a modern heeled joint, enhancing access to the Les Paul Supreme’s higher register.
A gleaming array of gold-plated hardware graces the Les Paul Supreme, including locking Grover Keystone tuners, an Aluminum Nashville Tune-o-Matic Bridge, an Aluminum stop bar tailpiece, and the inclusion of covered Gibson Burstbucker Pro and Burstbucker + pickups in the neck and bridge positions, respectively.
Noteworthy among the Les Paul Supreme’s aesthetic features is a distinctive headstock inlay, inspired by a classic Gibson design dating back to the 1940s. Like the fretboard inlays, this captivating geometric pattern is meticulously crafted from Mother-of-Pearl.
In terms of electronics, the Les Paul Supreme boasts a sophisticated array of controls, with each pickup volume equipped with individual coil-tap functionality. Additionally, each tone control serves as a Pure Bypass/Phase selector, adding further tonal versatility to this remarkable instrument.
Responding to the fervent requests of dedicated players and enthusiasts, the Les Paul Supreme has been joyously reinstated into the esteemed Gibson USA production lineup. Its return is nothing short of a celebration, offering a wealth of captivating features and undeniable charm to the discerning guitarist.
