SOLD

UPDATED with better pics

2011 Gibson Les Paul Standard

I believed it's a Traditional Pro. It has two P90s that can be split with the volume knobs.

Has locking tuners.

All original as far as I can tell.

It's in GREAT condition. The original owner put a felt protector on the back.

Includes original HardShell case.

Sounds & plays great. Neck is straight, 60s profile. Plays fast. Frets are perfect.

I bought this as an impulse buy to use as a backup but I just can't play single cut guitars.

I have some quick photos I took. I'll post some better ones when I get some time.

How hot are the pickups?

I have a 57 & 57+ in my Gibson SG and they sound about as hot as those but more open. Not as compressed or "boxey"

http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Gibson-USA/Les-Paul-Traditional-Pro-Split-Coil-P-90s.aspx

This is from Gibson's website:

"Beyond the look and feel of this great new member of the Les Paul family, a pair of Gibson USA's new Tapped P-90 pickups take the Les Paul Traditional Pro with Tapped P-90s right over the top. A "coil tap" feature usually refers to splitting a humbucking pickup, but in the truer sense of the term these new single-coil units are wound with a "tap wire" that eliminates a portion of the coil, to access a second sound from each pickup. In full mode each pickup sounds like a traditional thick, snarly Alnico V P-90 in its position (approximately 7.0k ohm in the neck position and 8.6k ohm in the bridge), but lift the push-pull switch on each pickup's volume control, and resistance levels drop to 5.0k ohm and 6.0k ohm respectively, for a brighter, sharper single-coil sound that is still rich and authentic, and not as thin as other pickups that are split entirely in half."
