The 2014 Gibson ES-Les Paul Standard is a semi-hollow body guitar that blends the classic Les Paul shape with the resonant construction of an ES-335, resulting in a lightweight instrument with a unique tonal character. It was manufactured by Gibson's Memphis plant.
Key Features
- Semi-Hollow Construction: The primary distinction, it features a 3-ply maple/basswood/maple laminated top and back with a weight-relieved mahogany center block, and f-holes for enhanced resonance and reduced weight. The guitar often weighs around 6 lbs.
- MHS Humbuckers: The guitar is equipped with MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) unpotted humbucking pickups, designed to replicate vintage PAF tones (Alnico III in the neck, Alnico II in the bridge).
- Versatile Electronics: The electronics include a traditional three-way selector switch and individual volume and tone controls, but unlike the solid-body 2014 Standard, it does not feature the push/pull coil-splitting, phase changing, or pure bypass options.
- Neck Profile: It generally has a modified 1959 rounded "C" mahogany neck profile, which is described as chunkier than the '60s slim taper on the solid-body standard.
- 120th Anniversary Inlay: A distinctive "120th Anniversary" logo inlay is featured at the 12th fret, common to many 2014 Gibson models.
