Dial the Gibson Les Paul Heritage Series 80 Elite sound in on your own rig
Gibson's early-1980s Heritage Series Les Paul: a carved maple top on a mahogany body and set neck with two humbuckers, a Tune-o-matic bridge and a stop tailpiece. It sounds like the classic Les Paul - thick, sustaining and mid-forward, with a woody weight under the bite - and is the guitar Bernard Butler has named as the main guitar on Suede's debut album.
