Asymmetrical SlimTaper neck, compound-radius fingerboard, and Plek'd frets for supercharged playability

Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing the Les Paul Standard Sweetwater Exclusive. You'll be delighted how this guitar's fast, Asymmetrical SlimTaper neck profile comfortably fits your hand. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to silky smoothness and bound so no fret ends impede your dexterity. Its compound radius is rounder in the low register to facilitate comfortable chording, gradually flattening out as you go higher to facilitate fluid soloing, tapping, and note bending without fretting out. The frets are also dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you're likely to own.
