Blending timeless Gibson tone with all the versatility demanded by today's modern player, these pickups both offer coil-tapping capabilities that can take you from that beefy humbucker tone to a single-coil snap instantly with the dual push/pull volume knobs. The independent tone controls also feature push/pull pots and will further broaden your tonal horizons. For reverse-phase tones just simply pull up tone control for the neck pickup or pop the bridge pickup's tone control up to tap into Gibson's innovative Pure Bypass setting, which routes that pickup straight through the output jack and into your amplifier, bypassing the volume and tone controls resulting in superb tonal clarity and scorching hot tones, perfect as an "instant lead" preset.The Les Paul Standard 2018 comes complete with chrome-plated hardware including a set of locking kidney tuning machines, an aluminum Tune-O-Matic bridge, and an aluminum stopbar tailpiece.
