Gibson has just announced their partnership with Warren Haynes for the release of his first signature guitar, the Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard.
The new Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard offers a Mahogany body with a plain Maple cap, a 60s Cherry finish, a Mahogany neck with a chunky 50s vintage profile, a Rosewood fretboard with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, a pair of P-90 DC pickups, and a 15 dB boost that can be activated via a mini toggle switch.
The quick-access battery compartment is mounted into the control cover on the rear, and the guitar will still function, even if the battery dies, by simply flipping the mini toggle switch to the off position.
“I’ve always been a Gibson guy—I got hooked on that sound as a teenager and have been playing them ever since,” says Warren Haynes. “Needless to say, I’m honored to be partnering with Gibson to release my Signature Les Paul Standard. Being traditionally a humbucker guy, I’m really loving the hum-free P-90s.
“It’s a really cool tonal change, and the boost offers even more tonal options. I’m really enjoying playing this guitar on stage and looking forward to using it in the studio. I’m equally psyched that other guitar players will now have the opportunity to own and play one as well.”
