Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard - '60s Cherry

Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard - '60s Cherry

This isn't just any Les Paul; it's a six-string soul-shiner crafted for the legendary Warren Haynes. For years, Haynes has been the beating heart of bands like Gov't Mule and the Allman Brothers, and this guitar is a direct reflection of his tonal philosophy. Gibson has masterfully blended the classic, timeless aesthetics of a '50s Les Paul with the modern refinements that a world-class musician demands. The guitar's foundation is a rich mahogany body and plain maple top, a combination that provides a warm, resonant, and sustain-rich tone—the very essence of a great Les Paul. The '60s Cherry finish is a beautiful homage to Warren's cherished '61 ES-335, giving it a vintage vibe that feels instantly familiar.

The secret to this guitar's incredible voice lies in its P-90 DC Soapbar pickups. Warren, a lifelong humbucker player, found a new source of inspiration in the P-90s, and these hum-canceling versions deliver all the snarl and bite of a classic single-coil without the annoying hum. Whether you're laying down creamy rhythm chords or pushing your amp into glorious overdrive with a searing lead, these pickups respond with incredible clarity and touch sensitivity. And for those moments when you need an extra kick, a discreet mini toggle switch activates a 15 dB clean boost, giving you the power to jump out of the mix with a simple flick of a switch. This is a workhorse guitar built for players who want classic style, versatile tones, and a legacy to match.
