2010 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro - Cherry Sunburst

2010 Gibson Les Paul Traditional Pro – Cherry Burst

The Altitude Summary

This 2010 Gibson Traditional Pro in classic Cherry Burst is an exceptional example of the model's short-lived production run (2009–2012). It’s in excellent, near-mint condition, original parts, and no visible wear or buckle rash. Everything is stock — including the highly desirable '57 Classic neck humbucker and Burstbucker III bridge pickup, both with 2010 factory baseplate stickers. At 8.6 lbs, it hits the sweet spot — enough heft for full Les Paul tone, but still gig-friendly. With push/pull coil taps on both volume knobs, this guitar offers true PAF depth plus single-coil snap — no mods needed.

Classic Tone, Modern Control

Under the hood, this Traditional Pro hides serious tonal flexibility. The '57 Classic in the neck brings warm, vintage-voiced clarity, while the Burstbucker III in the bridge adds bite and punch — a perfect match. Both volume knobs feature push/pull coil-tap switches, giving access to single-coil tones without sacrificing the classic Les Paul sound. The tone knobs are standard, and the 3-way toggle keeps switching simple. Whether you're chasing bluesy warmth or precise rock cut, this guitar has you covered.

Premium Build, Timeless Looks

Crafted with a quartersawn Honduran mahogany body and neck, topped with a carved two-piece maple cap, this guitar blends classic materials with elite craftsmanship. The rosewood fretboard features medium-jumbo frets and pearloid flared trapezoid inlays. The neck follows Gibson’s 1961 SlimTaper C profile, measuring .820" at the 1st fret and .890" at the 12th — fast but full in the hand. Locking Grover Rotomatics keep things tight and stable. Chrome-plated hardware, cream plastics, and gold bonnet knobs round out the vintage-modern aesthetic.

Feel & Playability

No fret wear, perfect neck relief, and fast action. The SlimTaper profile is ideal for players who love speed and control without sacrificing comfort. The Nashville bridge and stopbar tailpiece deliver sustain and resonance that Les Pauls are known for.

Case & Condition

Includes the original black Gibson USA hardshell case — clean and fully functional. No case candy included. This guitar has lived a cared-for life and it shows: no visible dings, scratches, or wear. It’s ready for the stage, studio, or collection.
