The Ultimate Player's Les Paul
This 2006 Gibson Les Paul Studio Faded delivers the pure, unadulterated tone of a classic Nashville-built Gibson. Finished in a minimalist "Worn Brown" satin nitrocellulose lacquer, the mahogany body breathes and resonates freely, offering an acoustic-like ring that thick, glossy finishes often choke out.
Finding an early Faded model in true Excellent condition is increasingly rare, as these thin finishes were designed to wear quickly. Coming in at a perfectly balanced 8 lbs 3.2 oz with traditional weight relief, this guitar provides massive sustain without breaking your back.

Unlike standard Studios of this era, the Faded line was factory-upgraded with Gibson Burstbucker Pro humbuckers. Featuring Alnico V magnets and wax potting, these pickups deliver a tighter low-end and a fierce midrange bite that drives tube amps into glorious, articulate breakup.
Combined with a comfortable '50s rounded neck profile, this instrument is a true workhorse ready for the stage or the studio. Ships complete with a premium Gibson Hardshell Case and original factory case candy.
