Greg playing his father's 1999 Gibson Les Paul Smart Wood
The Gibson Les Paul Smart Wood series guitars represent a unique fusion of sustainable craftsmanship and classic Les Paul design. Introduced in the mid-1990s, these guitars were part of Gibson's commitment to environmentally friendly practices, utilizing responsibly sourced and certified wood for their construction.
Each guitar showcases unique exotic wood tops, such as muir, peroba, and curupay, paired with traditional mahogany bodies, creating a striking aesthetic while maintaining the signature Les Paul tone. Lightweight and resonant, these guitars are known for their smooth playability, warm sustain, and rich tonal depth.
Retaining the iconic Les Paul shape and design elements, the Smart Wood series maintained high performance with a slightly lighter build, making them more comfortable to play.
