Why are Gibson Les Paul Supreme guitars so popular?
Gisbon Les Paul Supreme Guitars are so popular due to the design and manufacture. The design has evolved over the years since the first arrival of the Gibson Les Paul Standard in 1958. The Gibson Les Paul Supreme has all the markings of an ornate custom-made instrument with seven-ply top binding, three-ply back binding, a bound ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl split-block inlays and many more features.
Gibson Les Paul Supreme – More Than An Incredible Looker
More than just an incredible looker, however, the Gibson Les Paul Supreme is also a powerful tone machine. A pair of Gibson’s most popular humbucking pickups with genuine Alnico magnets yield a wide array of voices, from sultry to scorching, while traditional Gibson constructional details such as a 17-degree back-angled headstock, a PLEK-cut Corian nut, and rock-solid Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece pairing team up to provide unparalleled sustain and resonance. Each guitar includes a plush-lined black hardshell case and full owner’s manual and warranty literature.
The guitar’s neck and headstock construction are inspired by the classic design of the original Les Paul’s but feature several modern refinements.
The Les Paul Supreme is equipped with Grover “keystone-button” tuners, a Tune-o-matic bridge, and a stop-bar tailpiece, all of which are plated in gold, and are among the most lauded hardware available for performance and solidity.
The Les Paul Supreme sports two of Gibson USA’s most popular humbuckers, the 490R and 498T from the Modern Classics series, which offer the tonal characteristics of an original PAF, but with a slight increase in upper mid-range response. These are routed through the traditional control array of two volume and two tone pots and three-way selector switch.
The Gibson Logo
The most innovative and revolutionary stringed instruments of all time have carried the name Gibson—the Les Paul, the ES-335, the Explorer, the Flying V, the SG. The list goes on and on. There is no mistaking the classic, hand-crafted mother of pearl logo, inlayed into a pressed fiber-head veneer that is then glued to the face of the mahogany headstock. A thin coat of lacquer finishes the process. It is the most recognizable logo in all of music, representing more than a century of originality and excellence. There is simply no equal.
