Gibson Les Paul Standard Bass

 
 

This 2013 Les Paul Standard Gold Top finish is hand sprayed in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. 


The Les Paul Bass is rooted in the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body with solid carved maple top. Together, these woods offer outstanding tonal depth and richness from the mahogany, with superb clarity and “snap” from the maple. In this model, the strategic placement of several tone chambers enhances resonance while also reducing the guitar’s overall weight. The glued-in solid-mahogany neck is cut to the superior “quarter-sawn” grain orientation for improved strength and the optimum transfer of resonance between neck and body.


The neck is carved to a comfortably rounded ’50s profile, and topped with a one-piece, Grade-A rosewood fingerboard with traditional trapezoid inlays and 20 medium-jumbo frets. The bass has a PLEK-cut Corian nut, and, to further maximize vibrational energy, Gibson includes its legendary Tune-o-matic bridge and stud-mounted stopbar tailpiece, arguably the most storied hardware combination in the history of the electric guitar, adapted here for the bass
