Gibson - Les Paul Parlor Acoustic/Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case - Vintage Sunburst

Gibson's Les Paul™ is one of the all-time great electric guitar designs and has been played by some of the world's most talented and best-loved musicians. With its single-cutaway mahogany body and often flamed maple top, the look of the Les Paul is iconic. In the past, Gibson has produced acoustic versions of the Les Paul; first, from 1969 until 1973, in the form of a Jumbo cutaway model, and from 2000 to 2003, Gibson Custom made a solidbody-style Les Paul Acoustic. Now, Gibson is proud to introduce the Les Paul Parlor Acoustic. It features a smaller, parlor-sized body that is reminiscent of a scaled-down SJ-200™ in overall shape. The back and sides of the Les Paul Parlor Acoustic are made from solid mahogany, while the book-matched top is supported by traditional scalloped X-bracing and is made from solid AAA flame maple.

Both the top and back feature single-ply cream binding. The top is every bit as gorgeous as the book-matched tops you'll find on many of Gibson's electric models, and as with the electrics, the maple adds a bit of bite and note definition to the warm tone from the mahogany body. The mahogany neck has a comfortable and fast-playing Advanced Response profile that's neither too beefy nor too slim and is topped with a bound rosewood fretboard that has a 12" radius, is equipped with 19 standard frets, and is adorned with pearloid trapezoid inlays. The neck is attached to the body with a compound dovetail neck-to-body joint. The rosewood bridge is installed in a belly-down orientation, and the nut, saddle, and bridge pins are all TUSQ®. The TUSQ nut and saddle, along with the nickel-plated Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, help ensure the tuning stays where you set it so you can spend more time playing and less time tuning.

The single-ply cream pickguard's shape was inspired by the pickguards used on Les Paul Standard electric guitars and further reinforces the Les Paul aesthetic, as does the mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and gold Les Paul Model decal on the headstock. The Les Paul Parlor Acoustic comes factory-equipped with an L.R. Baggs™ VTC+4 under-saddle piezo pickup and active preamp with stealthy yet easy-to-access soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, so it's plug and-play ready from the moment you take it out of the included modern hardshell case. Here's your opportunity to own a high-quality, great-sounding Gibson acoustic guitar that matches the aesthetic of your Gibson Les Paul Standard.
