Gibson Les Paul LP295 Goldtop with Bigsby Guitar of the Month
Price per Unit (piece):
$2,899.00
The Gibson LP295 Goldtop Electric Guitar sets the classic appointments
of Gibson's renowned ES295 onto the body and neck of the celebrated Les
Paul. The standard Les Paul cutaway gives way to the wider Florentine
cutaway normally found on such legendary Gibson models as the Byrdland,
the ES175, and, of course, the ES295. The hand-painted, cream-colored
pickguard with gold flowers is also styled after the ES295s, as are the
split parallelograms inlays, and the chrome Bigsby tailpiece. Graphite
nut and bridge saddles offer better string control when using the
Bigsby.
The Body is solid mahogany with a maple top and
single-ply cream binding, smoothed with Gibson's classic Goldtop
finish. The headstock is also bound in single-ply cream binding, and
sports Gibson's traditional holly symbol. The neck is the standard Les
Paul mahogany neck with a '50s rounded profile and rosewood fingerboard.
In
the neck position, Gibson's '57 Classic pickup delivers warm, full tone
with a balanced response, packing that classic Gibson PAF humbucker
crunch. The '57 Classic Plus is the perfect bridge-position companion
to the '57 Classic, inspired by the design of the original PAFs of the
late 1950s and the early 1960s.
The new LP295, housed in a
custom Guitar of the Month case from Gibson USA, is versatile enough
for all styles of music and playing, and an admirable addition to
Gibson's current lineup of special edition guitars. Like all of Gibson
USA's Guitars of the Month, production is limited to just 1,000 guitars.
