Zero Fret Adjustable Nut (patent applied for) The patent applied for Zero Fret Adjustable Nut increases sustain, promotes accurate intonation, and improves action by offering a wide, range of nut adjustments. Slide guitarists can raise and lower action easily.


 

Upgraded Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Titanium Saddles An Allen wrench-compatible thumbscrew easily adjusts the bridge height, and specially notched titanium saddles match each string so notes ring more clearly and sustain longer.


 

Wider Neck and Fingerboard A wider neck and fingerboard increase playing comfort for hammer-ons, pull-offs, and bends, yet the same string spacing retains a familiar, consistent feel.

Comprehensive Wood Selection Gibson USA matches the rarest and finest woods to every guitar based on the quality of the match, consistency of the figure, intensity of the figure, clarity, and wave.  Thicker Rosewood Fingerboard The increased mass of a thicker, one-piece rosewood fingerboard extends sustain.


Pearl Inlays Genuine pearl inlays enhance the guitar’s appearance and increase its value.


 

Smoother Sanded, Buffed and Oiled Fingerboard A new, unique oil-treated buffing process upgrades the fingerboard to a silkier feel.


Comprehensive Setup A new comprehensive setup and PLEK program combined with a lower fret height on every Gibson USA 2015 Model Year guitar provides a silky smooth feel, accurate intonation, and easy bending.


Heavier Gauge Wire All Gibson USA guitars now use thicker, stranded wire that provides more surface area for making strong internal connections.


New Mini Humbucker Design: Improved tonal balance and coil splitting versatility Newly redesigned Mini-Humbuckers provide a more balanced tone with the rich sound of humbuckers, as well  as coil-splitting for extra tonal versatility.


 

Les Paul’s 100th Anniversary Gibson is proud to honor the creative genius who not only invented the most iconic guitar ever, but pioneered home and multitrack recording for all musicians.


Les Paul Hologram This unique hologram verifies the authenticity of the 2015 Model Year guitars, while paying tribute to the man whose is synonymous with the most coveted guitar in the world.


New and Improved Hardshell Case The new and improved hardshell case for 2015 upgrades the look and strength.
