Gibson: LP Traditional 120

Another new serving by Gibson, another Les Paul but hey, this is the Traditional 120. Yes, it's a commemorative instrument, limited run as well but it sticks true to its roots- it's unchambered. So if you like your LP back-breaking because that's how the LP should be, this one's for you. 

However, there are some contemporary take on the LP theme, firstly, the neck's a slim taper profile. The hardware are of the Zamak type & the inlays are acrylic. If you can actually hear the difference coming from these components, do let us know. From the factory, the instrument is equipped with a set of hybrid gauge: .009 - .046 & there's no accounting for why this was the case.
