2020 Gibson Traditional Pro V Les Paul
Summary: The Gibson Trad Pro V shares the same DNA with a Les Paul—mahogany body and neck, carved maple top—but it's also a completely evolved instrument. The body is weight-relieved, making it super comfortable. The neck has an asymmetrical shape that fits like a glove. Thanks to the compound radius rosewood fretboard, you'll find it easier to solo in higher registers. Gibson loads the Pro V with dual Tradbucker pickups. The neck position humbucker is underwound for a warm, organic sound; the bridge is overwound, increasing the output. Both use Alnico V magnets. A push/pull performs a coil split or coil tap—it's your choice via a dip switch in the control cavity. In coil-split mode, the treble tone push/pull toggles between the inner and outer coils. The rhythm tone push/pull activates a phase switch, perfect if your tone pool is filled with deep British blues.
Body: Mahogany with a figured Maple top in a satin finish.
Neck: Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard, asymmetric shape, compound radius, 22 frets, 24.75” scale length, 1.687” nut width.
Pickups/Hardware: Two Tradbucker pickups, individual volume and tone controls, three-way pickup selector, coil taps and phase switches, fixed bridge, stopbar tailpiece, locking vintage-style tuning keys, chrome hardware.
Cosmetics: This guitar is in great shape. It has some buckle rash that was hard to photograph. There are light surface scratches on the top/back of the body. The pickguard has pick wear.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this guitar with a new set of 10’s. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been setup low and comfortable.
