Matched BurstBucker pickup set for incomparable tone

BurstBucker pickups deliver the vintage flavor of Gibson's classic PAF humbuckers, successfully capturing the subtle variations of classic humbucker tone with period-correct unmatched bobbin windings, and Alnico II magnets. Full and airy-sounding, BurstBuckers serve up a sweet harmonic complexity and bell-like clarity, and when driven hard, they achieve the gorgeous distortion with enhanced highs that made the original PAF pickups famous. On the Les Paul Studio BurstBucker Sweetwater Exclusive, BurstBucker 1 (neck) and BurstBucker 2 (bridge) pickups are routed through individual push/pull volume controls which provide coil splitting for single-coil operation, individual tone controls, and a 3-way pickup selector toggle switch, giving you the tonal mastery to ace any gig or recording session.

SlimTaper neck carve and Plek'd frets for optimized playability

Comfort and playability were two of Gibson's primary concerns when they were designing the Les Paul Studio BurstBucker Sweetwater Exclusive. You'll be delighted how this guitar's fast, early-'60s 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. The frets are 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.

Ultra-Modern weight relief for comfort and sustain

Although vintage Les Pauls rocked a solid-mahogany body, they are also infamous for being, shall we say, on the heavy side. The Gibson Les Paul Studio BurstBucker Sweetwater Exclusive features the classic LP tonewood recipe, but with a twist: a carved maple top over a mahogany body with strategically placed chambers. The chambers relieve weight for increased playing comfort while retaining the density needed for the prodigious sustain the Les Paul is famous for. So go ahead and gig all night with this guitar — without having to visit a chiropractor the next day. The Gibson Les Paul Studio BurstBucker: get it now — only at Sweetwater!
