The Gibson Les Paul Standard T 2017 is a modern, high‑performance take on the classic Les Paul, blending traditional tonewoods with contemporary playability, advanced electronics, and a beautifully executed Honeyburst finish. It’s a guitar built for players who want vintage flavour with modern versatility, without stepping into the more radical HP series of the same year.

 Aesthetics & Build Quality

Honeyburst Finish

The Honeyburst on the 2017 Standard T is one of Gibson’s most attractive modern bursts:

• Warm amber centre
• Smooth, gradual fade
• Flame maple top that ranges from subtle to dramatic depending on the individual guitar
• Cream binding and chrome hardware for a classic, premium look

It’s unmistakably a Les Paul, but with a refined, contemporary polish.

Construction

• Mahogany body with modern weight relief (not chambered, but lighter than a full solid body)
• Carved AA flame maple top
• Mahogany neck with asymmetrical Slim Taper profile
• Rosewood fingerboard with cryogenic‑treated frets
• Grover locking tuners

Playability & Feel

Neck Profile

The asymmetrical Slim Taper is one of Gibson’s best modern necks:

• Slimmer on the treble side for fast lead work
• Slightly fuller on the bass side for comfortable chording
• Feels modern without losing Gibson character

It’s a neck that suits both traditional Les Paul players and modern shredders.

Frets & Action

• Medium jumbo frets
• Smooth bends
• Low action possible without choking
• Excellent upper‑fret access thanks to the sculpted heel

Electronics & Tone

The 2017 Standard T is loaded with Burstbucker Pro pickups and a push‑pull switching system that massively expands tonal options.

Pickups

• Burstbucker Pro Rhythm (neck)
• Burstbucker Pro Lead (bridge)

These are Alnico V pickups with a hotter, more modern voice than vintage PAFs.

Neck Pickup

• Warm and smooth
• Slightly scooped mids
• Great for blues, jazz, and creamy lead tones

Bridge Pickup

• Bright, punchy, and articulate
• Tight low end
• Excellent for rock, hard rock, and modern gain

Switching & Versatility

The push‑pull controls give you:

• Coil splits for both pickups
• Phase switching
• Pure bypass (bridge pickup straight to output)

This makes the Standard  far more versatile than a traditional Les Paul.

Coil Splits

Surprisingly usable—bright, snappy, and closer to a single‑coil voice than many Gibson splits.

Phase Switch

Great for funky, hollow, or Peter Green‑style tones.

Pure Bypass

A volume boost with extra clarity—perfect for solos.

 Real‑World Use 

1. Rock & Hard Rock

The Burstbucker Pros excel here, tight, punchy, and articulate.

2. Blues & Classic Rock

Roll back the tone and volume and you get warm, expressive PAF‑like tones.

3. Modern High‑Gain

The bridge pickup handles gain well, staying tight and defined.

4. Studio Work

The coil splits and phase options make it a Swiss‑army‑knife guitar for recording.

5. Live Performance

• Locking tuners
• Stable tuning
• Comfortable weight
• Versatile switching

The Gibson Les Paul Standard T 2017 Honeyburst is a modern classic—a beautifully built, highly playable, and tonally versatile Les Paul that blends tradition with innovation. It’s ideal for players who want the look and feel of a classic LP, but with modern reliability, expanded tones, and improved ergonomics.

If you want a Les Paul that can cover everything from vintage blues to modern rock and look stunning doing it the 2017 Standard  is a fantastic choice.
