Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar
Gibson · electric guitar
The Gibson Warren Haynes Les Paul Standard is the guitarist's first Gibson signature model, built with a mahogany body and plain maple cap under a period-correct 60s Cherry finish, paired with a chunky 50s-profile vintage neck carve that reflects Haynes's preference for a substantial neck over a slimmer modern taper. Haynes, known for his work with the Allman Brothers Band, Gov't Mule, and his own extensive solo catalog, has built a reputation on expressive, blues-soaked lead playing and heavy use of slide, and the guitar is voiced to support both styles from a single instrument rather than requiring a swap for slide-specific tunings or setups.
