If you’re chasing 'the' Les Paul style guitar—the one that stops the search—this is it.

A truly great Les Paul doesn’t just sound incredible—it feels right in your hands, inspires you unplugged, and delivers effortless, nuanced tone through an amp. That’s exactly what Gil Yaron’s LP replicas are known for, and why they’ve earned legendary status among players.

Said another way? This is the type of guitar that you let out an involuntary audible, "ohhhhhhhhh" when you pop the case. It's a stunning top that, for our tastes/money, is the perfect LP top - enough flame to add beauty but not so much it gets a little precious.

From the moment you pick it up, this guitar just feels alive. Acoustically, it’s snappy, resonant, and full of character—you can feel every note bloom. Plugged in, it’s a dynamic powerhouse with exceptional articulation and punch, delivering everything from sweet, round neck tones to a bridge pickup bite that borders on P-90 territory.

For us, Live at the Fillmore remains the gold standard for humbucker tone—this guitar gets into that world with. Rich, vocal, endlessly expressive with volume and tone controls that work beautifully.

And the playability? Unreal. The ‘59 neck carve is perfectly shaped, and moving across the fretboard is completely effortless—no resistance, no hesitation, just pure connection between player and instrument.

You could spend 4-5x more on a vintage example, but you won’t necessarily get more guitar for your money. This is as good as it gets, especially for a modern guitar.
