Gibson celebrates the 100th birthday of the legendary Les Paul with the limited-edition 2015 Commemorative Series, packed with player-friendly features.

The 2015 Commemorative Les Paul Deluxe Metallic boasts Kluson traditional tuning machines and a zero fret nut for easy action adjustment, and a shimmering, eye-catching metallic finish. Its wide maple neck is topped with a thicker, 1-piece rosewood fretboard with pearl inlay, extending sustain and expanding your playing surface. The mahogany body features a glimmering maple top, and is loaded with the mini-humbuckers that made the Deluxe famous, now with coil-splitting versatility and improved tonal balance thanks to Alnico 5 magnets and extra turns on each coil.

Its upgraded tune-o-matic bridge is fitted with titanium saddles, and the comprehensive Plek setup enhances playing action and improves intonation. Each Commemorative Series guitar is graced with a “Les Paul 100” logo and Les Paul hologram on its headstock. It comes with a Gibson gold hard shell case and a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
