The big day is less than a week away and the Black Friday guitar deals are well and truly here - and they don't come chunkier than $700 off the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V at Guitar Center. Available in the stunning Desert Burst finish, this is a serious guitar at a seriously discounted price.
The Les Paul is a tonal powerhouse, offering players infinite sustain, a powerful mid-range bark, and a creamy warm tone not found in other guitars. It's no surprise then that so many aspire to own a Gibson Les Paul one day. That said, the rather sizable price tag can make them unobtainable, so this is a rare chance to snap one up for only $1,799.
Featuring a weight-relieved mahogany body with mahogany top, a 24.75"-scale mahogany neck with a 22-fret compound-radius rosewood fingerboard, dual Gibson Tradbucker pickups with coil-split, coil-tap and phase, a Nashville bridge, aluminium tailpiece and locking Grover tuners, the Traditional Pro V is a classic guitar with 21st-century appointments.
We gave this Les Paul 4/5 stars in our review earlier in the year and praised its build quality and the plethora of tone-crafting options onboard. For us, this is a Les Paul with great tonal choice and the classic beauty you'd expect from this famed singlecut. So, if the $2k+ price was putting you off before, now is your chance to pick one up.
