Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar, 60s Cherry
Warren Haynes is famous and highly regarded for his work in rock, blues, and Americana music through his work with The Allman Brothers Band, as a founding member of Gov’t Mule, as a session guitarist and sideman for numerous famous friends and groups, as the leader of The Warren Haynes Band, and as a solo artist. A master of multiple styles and genres, Warren has also shared his expertise with other players via multiple instructional videos. A self-described “Gibson man,” Warren has used several Gibson models throughout the years, including his cherished ’61 ES-335, among others.
The Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard is another standout guitar, designed with features tailored specifically to Warren’s preferences. It boasts a mahogany body with a plain maple cap and a 60s Cherry finish, reminiscent of his beloved ’61 ES-335. The guitar also includes a mahogany neck with a chunky 50s Vintage neck profile, which mirrors the design of Warren's favourite Les Pauls. Its rosewood fretboard is adorned with acrylic trapezoid inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets, enhancing both playability and aesthetics.
Equipped with a pair of P-90 DC pickups, the guitar offers hum-free performance while maintaining the classic sonic nuances of traditional P-90 pickups. Additionally, it features a 15 dB clean boost, activated via a mini toggle switch. The guitar also incorporates a quick-access battery compartment mounted into the control cover on the rear, ensuring that it will still function even if the battery dies, simply by flipping the mini toggle switch to the off position. A hard-shell case is included for protection and storage.
Bearing the traditional looks and feel of a 50s-era Les Paul coupled with modern features like hum-free P-90 DC pickups and an onboard clean boost, the Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard bridges modern and traditional and is a great choice for players who, like Warren, want both a traditional appearance and modern functionality in one outstanding guitar.
