Gibson Les Paul Classic Player Plus 2018 Satin Ocean Blue
The Les Paul Classic Player Plus Satin Ocean Blue (2018) is a limited run guitar featuring the classic Les Paul design with some stunning modern refinements. The satin finish brings out the grain of the AA maple top in a strikingly different way to traditional finishes whilst simultaneously providing a smooth and tactile instrument which resonates more freely and feels more alive in the hands. P90 pickups lend this guitar a lower-powered vintage range of tones with great nuance and almost single-coil levels of articulation and note tracking. The body features a classic combination of mahogany and maple whilst the mahogany neck has a thoroughly innovative Richlite fingerboard. This composite material gives a similar aesthetic to ebony yet has a more consistent structure to provide balanced resonance across its entire length helping to eliminate unevenness in note response. Its inclusion here represents Gibsons and many other manufacturers commitment to responsibly sourcing sustainable wood or other materials; here is the future of guitar construction which has been many years in development and aims to find new woods or materials which match and improve on the woods they replace. The Les Paul Classic Player Plus is a perfect match of traditional styles with the best of the new modern features providing a stunning new take on the Les Paul.
