Gibson Les Paul Classic 2022 (Modern) electric guitar review, with Dale Harris, guitar. The Gibson Les Paul Classic combines the early 60s style Les Paul model with some functional and time-tested modifications. As expected, the Les Paul Classic is crafted with a mahogany back and maple top coupled with a SlimTaper mahogany neck and a bound, rosewood fingerboard. 60s Burstbucker zebra, open-coil pickups provide classic Gibson tones from the era with a bit of extra punch thanks to the open coils. The control assembly features 4 push-pull pots, which provide choices of coil tapping, phase switching, and Pure Bypassing for functional and versatile sonic variety. This run of Gibson Les Paul Classics (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) are rumoured to be ending in 2024.
