Gibson USA LES PAUL STANDARD SIGNATURE ADAM JONES SILVERBURST - Refurbished

A Les Paul Signature designed for Adam Jones's world

This Les Paul Standard Signature pays tribute to Adam Jones's aesthetic and sonic approach. A major figure in progressive alternative rock, the Tool guitarist is known for his massive riffs, dark harmonies and highly expressive use of effects. The Antique Silverburst finishing, the signature on the truss rod cover and the custom artwork on the back of the headstock give this electric guitar a strong visual identity.

It builds on the foundations of the Gibson Les Paul: a solid mahogany body, a maple top and a short 24.72-inch / 628 mm scale length. This historic design favors a generous response, rich midrange density and particularly appreciated natural sustain in rock-oriented registers.

An electric guitar for heavy riffs and ambitious textures

The Gibson Les Paul Standard Signature Adam Jones is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists looking for a distinctive instrument capable of handling standard tunings as well as heavier playing styles. Its rounded 70s neck profile will suit musicians who appreciate a full, stable and reassuring feel in the hand.

It naturally fits into alternative rock, hard rock, progressive metal, stoner and music with a strong textural dimension. Thanks to its two volume and two tone controls, it also allows you to finely adjust the level of saturation or brighten up the sound for more nuanced passages.

Les Paul sustain for a dense and incisive sound

The combination of a mahogany body and a maple top is one of the Les Paul's sonic signatures. Mahogany brings depth, warmth and thick mids, while maple enhances attack, definition and presence. This construction promotes long sustain, ideal for held notes, expressive bends and powerful riffs.

The ebony key accentuates the clarity of the attack and delivers a fast response under the fingers. The Gibson BurstBucker 2 neck pickup produces smooth, precise sounds, suited to singing leads as well as full chords. In the bridge position, the guitar is described as featuring an uncovered DC High-Gain humbucker, while the technical specifications mention a Gibson BurstBucker 3: in both cases, the focus remains on a powerful bridge pickup designed to preserve impact and clarity under heavy saturation.

The hand-wired electronics, CTS potentiometers and 50s-style circuitry contribute to a gradual response from the controls. The description mentions Orange Drop capacitors, while the technical specifications indicate Mallory capacitors. The four potentiometers allow the volume and tone of each pickup to be adjusted separately, making it possible to create highly contrasting sounds.
