Product Description

Raw Tone, Real Feel—No Frills Attached

This isn’t just another Les Paul. This is the essence of what makes a Les Paul great, stripped down to its bare-knuckle basics. This pre-owned 2011 Les Paul Studio Faded is a pure rock ‘n’ roll machine, built for the player who cares more about tone and feel than flashy binding and thick lacquer. The Worn Brown finish isn’t just for looks—it lets the wood breathe, creating a resonance you can feel in your chest, and feels like a guitar you’ve been playing for years, right from the first chord.

Burstbucker Pro Power

The heart of this beast is a pair of Gibson’s acclaimed **Burstbucker Pro pickups**. These aren’t your grandpa’s PAFs; they’re powered by Alnico V magnets for a hotter, punchier take on that legendary humbucker sound. The bridge pickup delivers a snarling midrange bite and articulate highs perfect for cutting through a dense mix, while the neck pickup is fat, warm, and vocal—ideal for singing leads and buttery smooth blues lines. They’re wax-potted, too, so you can crank the gain without worrying about unwanted squeal.

Plays Like a Dream

Grab the neck and you’ll know what we’re talking about. The **chunky ’50s Style profile** is a joy to play, offering a substantial feel that’s perfect for big bends and solid rhythm work. Under the maple top, the mahogany body is chambered, providing modern weight relief that makes this Les Paul surprisingly comfortable for its size—say goodbye to shoulder pain during those marathon sessions. It’s a true player’s piece, ready for the stage, studio, or wherever you make your music.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The Faded satin nitrocellulose finish is thinner than a traditional high-gloss finish. This allows the wood to resonate more freely, enhancing the guitar’s natural acoustic properties. Plus, it feels incredibly smooth and broken-in, like a guitar you’ve played for years.
Burstbucker Pros use Alnico V magnets, which give them a higher output, more midrange punch, and a brighter top-end compared to vintage-style PAFs with Alnico II magnets. They’re a more modern, aggressive take on the classic Les Paul sound, perfect for rock and high-gain styles.
Not at all, for a Les Paul! This model features a chambered mahogany body, which significantly reduces the weight compared to a traditional, solid-body Les Paul. It’s built for comfort, making it great for long gigs without sacrificing that classic Les Paul sustain.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
