A Modern Classic with a V8 Under the Hood
Don’t let the timeless Wine Red finish and classic Les Paul lines fool you—this 2015 Traditional PRO III T is a straight-up rock machine with a ton of tonal tricks up its sleeve. It’s got that foundational Les Paul character—warm mahogany, a crisp maple top, and a set-neck construction that sustains for days. But where this guitar really comes alive is in its super-versatile electronics package. This is a player’s guitar, through and through, ready for the stage, studio, and anywhere in between.
’57 Pickups with a Twist
The heart of this beast is a set of Gibson ’57 A3R and A3T humbuckers. They deliver that coveted PAF-style growl—warm, clear, and perfectly balanced. But the magic is in the controls. Each volume knob is a push/push switch to split the coils, giving you access to punchy, fat single-coil tones that’ll cut through any mix. Seriously, the coil-tapped sounds on this are shockingly good.
Your Onboard Secret Weapon
But wait, there’s more. The neck tone knob hides another push/push switch—a user-adjustable 10dB boost. Just kick it in for a solo, and you’ll effortlessly lift above the band with extra saturation and sustain. It’s like having a clean boost pedal built right into your guitar. Add in locking Grover tuners for rock-solid stability and a comfortable ’60s neck profile, and you’ve got a workhorse Les Paul that respects tradition while embracing modern versatility.
