2012 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Plus Chicago Blue Flametop standard!

Here is a nice 2012 Gibson Les Paul Traditional in a blue finish, a clean and straightforward example of a modern Gibson that still delivers all the classic Les Paul feel and tone.

Not much to say here — this one is very clean overall, looks great, plays easily, and sounds exactly like a Les Paul should. It has only a few minor marks from normal light playing, but nothing that stands out in any meaningful way.

We’d call it excellent condition, not quite mint but very close. The frets show almost no wear, and overall it presents extremely well.

As a Les Paul Traditional, it features a chunkier 1950s-style neck profile — not oversized, but definitely more substantial than a 1960s slim taper, giving it a solid and comfortable feel in the hand.

There is also a light flame figuring in the top, which adds a nice bit of visual depth under the blue finish.

It comes complete with the original hardshell case and paperwork as shown.


The Details

  • Condition: Excellent (Near Mint)
  • Originality: All original
  • Finish: Blue (with light flame top)
  • Notes: Traditional model; 50s-style neck profile; very clean example

Playability & Sound

This one plays easy and sounds exactly like a solid Les Paul should — warm, punchy, and full with great sustain. The slightly chunkier neck gives it a comfortable, classic feel without being overly large.
