Product Description

The Gold Standard of Rock

Here it is. The one, the only, the legendary Goldtop. This 2016 Gibson Les Paul Standard T is a stunning example of why this guitar has been at the heart of rock and roll for decades. It’s got that undeniable vibe, the kind of resonance you feel in your bones before you even plug it in. This pre-owned beauty comes with its original hardshell case and is ready to make some noise.

Modern Feel, Vintage Soul

Gibson nailed the blend of classic and contemporary with the 2016 Standard T. The mahogany body features modern weight relief, so you get all that epic Les Paul sustain without the shoulder strain. The asymmetrical Slim Taper mahogany neck is pure comfort, designed for fast runs and easy chording alike. Paired with a compound radius rosewood fingerboard, it’s a buttery-smooth playing experience from the first fret to the last.

Sonic Versatility on Tap

Under the hood, this Les Paul is loaded with a pair of Burstbucker Pro pickups. These humbuckers deliver that quintessential PAF-style warmth and grit that we all crave. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Each of the four knobs is a push-pull pot, unlocking a whole new world of tones. You can split the coils for glassy single-coil sounds, flip the phase for those funky Peter Green tones, or even engage a pure bypass for a direct, screaming lead tone straight from the bridge pickup. It’s a true sonic chameleon.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Classic Rock • Blues • Hard Rock • Studio Recording

Tone

  • Bridge pickup offers classic PAF bite with plenty of grit and midrange cut.
  • Neck pickup is warm, vocal, and glassy, perfect for smooth leads and full rhythms.
  • Coil-split tones are surprisingly authentic, delivering chimey, articulate single-coil sounds.
  • Responds beautifully to your picking dynamics, cleaning up with a light touch and roaring when you dig in.

Playing Feel

  • Modern weight relief makes it comfortable and balanced for long gigs and sessions.
  • The Asymmetrical Slim Taper neck profile and compound radius fingerboard feel fast and effortless.
  • Sustain for days, with notes that bloom and resonate through the mahogany body.
  • Low action and precision fretwork make string bends feel smooth and easy across the entire neck.

Versatility

  • Goes from clean jazz lines to screaming rock leads with just a turn of the volume knob.
  • The push-pull pots make it a Swiss Army knife of tone, perfect for any genre.
  • A studio dream, capable of covering humbucker and single-coil territory with ease.
  • Cuts through a dense mix with authority, whether you're playing clean or with heavy gain.

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 2016 ‘T’ model is all about blending traditional feel with modern versatility. It features an asymmetrical slim taper neck and a compound radius fingerboard for incredible playability, plus advanced electronics like coil-tapping, phase switching, and pure bypass, offering a massive range of tones all in one classic package.
It gives you the best of both worlds. The guitar is noticeably lighter and more comfortable, making it easier to play for hours. Tonally, it retains that classic Les Paul warmth and incredible sustain, just without the heavy weight of a completely solid body.
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.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
