It’s fair to say I’m a Gibson fanatic. Now, my guitar collection isn’t purely populated with the Nashville guitar giants’ instruments, but it certainly makes up a fair amount of them. Currently, I have a flock of Gibson Firebirds (one Firebird V and two Non-Reverse versions), a gorgeous cherry red SG Standard, a Pelham Blue ’61 reissue SG Special, ’60s style Les Paul Standard, ’60s reissue ES-335, its little brother the ES-339, TV Yellow Les Paul Special, a natural Explorer and the workhorse acoustic, the J-45. And much to my wife’s disappointment, I’m not done yet. 

So, believe me, I know the Gibson Les Paul is the dream instrument for so many guitar players. This rock ‘n’ roll icon has been responsible for some of the best electric guitar tones of all time and has been the go-to guitar for some of the biggest names in music. There’s only one catch… they’re expensive. Well, you needn’t worry, as the Presidents’ Day deals are already pouring in thick and fast, with this offering from Musician’s Friend being one of the best I’ve seen so far. For a limited time only, you can bag yourself an eye-watering $600 off the Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro V! 

Featuring a mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard, trapezoid inlays, and mother-of-pearl Gibson logo, this beautiful single-cut is unmistakably a Les Paul. The Traditional Pro V also sports Grover locking machine heads and an asymmetrical neck for a modern playing feel, while the body is weight-relieved, which will make your back very happy indeed.

Spec’d up with an underwound vintage-style neck pickup and overwound Tradbucker pickup in the bridge position, this is a classic-sounding guitar, capable of reproducing all the awe-inspiring tones you’d expect from a Les Paul. 

There’s extra flexibility, too, via push/pull pots, which allow you to achieve fantastic single-coil tones via either a coil-split or coil-tap (choose whichever you like via a dip switch in the back cavity). Furthermore, the rhythm tone push/pull activates a phase switch, giving you access to the famous Peter Green out-of-phase sound.

This is one of the most versatile, highly spec’d Les Pauls on the market, and with $600 off, it’s the perfect excuse to snap up a genuine Gibson guitar – head over to Musician’s Friend now to grab it before this deal comes to an end.

First and foremost, I’m a guitar enthusiast – a fanatic, some might say. I’m a firm believer that most of the world’s problems can be solved with a Gibson SG and a catastrophically loud amp. As a Senior Deals Writer on Guitar World, I write about guitars for a living, but in a past life, I worked in music retail for 7 years, advising customers on the right guitars, basses, drums, pianos, and PA systems for their needs. I also have a passion for live sound; I’m a fully qualified sound engineer with experience working in various venues in Scotland, where I live with my wife and dog.
