Gibson Adam Jones Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar in Antique Silverburst is an electric guitar.

Description

Adam Jones is one of the most influential and sonically-innovative guitar players of the last 30 years. Transforming the alternative metal scene with his Grammy Award-winning band Tool, Jones’ percussive drop-tuned riffs are instantly recognisable – fusing dissonance, fast hammer-ons and complex harmonic passages with regular flashes of aggressive, distorted onslaught.

The Illinois-born rocker has been synonymous with Gibson Les Paul Custom guitars throughout his career – specifically Silverburst-finished examples – with his number one being a battle-worn ’79 model. Gibson’s Custom Shop team has produced extremely-limited and detailed replicas of the original in the past, but now, their USA division has unveiled a more accessible Adam Jones Les Paul Standard signature model that die-hard fans are sure to love!

Key Features

  • Mahogany Construction — This timeless tonewood (used for the body/neck) yields the thick and sustain-rich sound synonymous with Gibson guitars.
  • Non-Weight Relieved Body — Gives the instrument a substantial feel and captures that iconic “vintage” sound.
  • Bound Maple Top — Adds bright complexities into the tonal mix, enhancing top-end bite and improving note clarity.
  • ‘70s Rounded Neck — Old-school profile akin to the neck shape on Adam Jones’ favourite ’79 Les Paul Custom.
  • Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a comfortable 12″ radius and 22 frets.
  • Medium Jumbo Frets — Offer a controllable feel for wide vibrato and pitch-perfect string bends.
  • Potent Gibson Pickup Pairing — A chrome-covered BurstBucker in the neck position offers a creamy yet clear tone, ideal for smooth leads and balanced cleans. The uncovered DC High-Gain humbucker in the bridge is extremely powerful and punchy; made for metal!
  • Tune-O-Matic Bridge — Legendary Gibson design; easily-adjustable and maximises string vibration transference through the body.
  • Grover Rotomatic Tuners — High-quality design allows for precise pitching and ensures years of reliable use; featuring contemporary-style buttons.
  • Graph Tech Nut — Low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and enhances sustain.
  • Unique Adam Jones Artwork — Custom Adam Jones artwork features on the back of the headstock, along with his signature on the truss rod cover.
  • Included Modern Hardshell Case — Sleek and robust case perfectly protects the Adam Jones Les Paul Standard from harm.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.
