View larger Body and neck The Les Paul Peace is crafted in a faithful image of the original Les Paul Standard. Its made from a solid mahogany back with traditional weight relief for a lighter strapped-on feel, with a carved AA figured maple top. The glued-in mahogany neck with a slim 60s profile features a bound rosewood fingerboard topped with a TekToid nut, and carries 22 cryogenically treated frets for long life and corrosion resistance. Traditional trapezoid inlays and a commemorative 120th Anniversary inlay at the 12th fret complete the striking look. Pickups and electronics The guitar carries a pair of Gibsons great new 61 Humbuckers with chrome covers, wound with unbalanced coils for that traditional PAF-style edge and depth. They have independent volume and tone controls with Orange Drop capacitors, and a three-way selector switch. Hardware The inclusion of Min-ETune automatic tuners, which also work manually, makes the Les Paul Peace an unparalleled performance tool. Simply activate the system and strum to retune your guitar within seconds, or to change to any one of 12 factory preset tunings or 6 user presets. A chrome Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece engraved Peace with peace-sign studs anchor it all down for outstanding resonance and sustain, while enlarged strap buttons (new for 2014) keep your guitar secure throughout the set. Custom tie-die knobs are joined by a vintage-cream pickguard, binding, and pickup mounting rings.
