Adam Jones Les Paul Standard Antique Silverburst

Gibson USA is proud to introduce a new Artist model in collaboration with one of rock’s most talented and sonically innovative guitarists, the legendary Adam Jones, renowned for his meticulous approach to tone and groundbreaking sonic textures with the multi-platinum, Grammy Award®–winning band Tool. Finished in striking Antique Silverburst, this guitar encapsulates both the visual drama and tonal versatility that Adam is known for. The solid mahogany body and maple top form the foundation of the classic Les Paul recipe, yielding warmth, punch, and sustain. But distinctive finish and thoughtful hardware choices that set this signature model apart, including Adam’s custom artwork on the back of the headstock and his signature on the truss rod cover.

At the heart of its dynamic tone are two custom-wound pickups: a chrome-covered Burstbucker™ 1 in the neck position perfect for smooth, articulate cleans and creamy leads, and an uncovered DC High-Gain Humbucker™ in the bridge that delivers the grittiest, most aggressive rock tones your fingers can summon. Whether you’re sculpting atmospheric soundscapes or laying down heavy riffs, this pickup combination delivers clarity and punch that respond to every nuance of your pick attack. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop® capacitors ensure a refined treble roll-off and stable, consistent performance.

The mahogany neck features a comfortable Rounded profile—perfect for channeling Adam’s signature combination of deft lead lines and crushing power chords—while the ebony fretboard offers a sleek playing surface. Grover® Rotomatics® tuners provide excellent tuning stability, and a modern hardshell case ensures safe transport from stage to studio. Jones’s artistic stamp is evident on the truss rod cover, bearing his signature, and on the back of the headstock, which features custom artwork—adding a distinctive flair for fans and collectors alike.

From intricate polyrhythms to haunting melodic lines, Adam Jones’s style is all about exploring new sonic frontiers while maintaining a firm grasp on classic rock fundamentals. The Adam Jones Les Paul Standard follows suit, bridging the gap between vintage-inspired craftsmanship and modern performance demands. Whether you’re a Tool devotee, a collector of signature models, or simply in search of a versatile Les Paul with a unique aesthetic twist, Adam’s signature Artist model delivers a powerful statement both visually and sonically.
