A Classic, Reborn

A 50's era Gibson is about as classic of a guitar as it gets.  The revered guitar company has been supplying players with high quality instruments for decades, and this one is a great example of what Gibson is all about today.

The new Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life.

The Les Paul Standard 50's has a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded 50's-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. For those that want a vintage grip and the right feel, this is it.  The guitar is resonant, and the calibrated pickup set brings that through your amp beautifully.  Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors, for the right vintage inspired sound that we all know and love.

The guitar is equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, and aged gold tophat knobs.  A hardshell case is included.

This one in particular has a nicely figured top, with a nitro lacquer finish and a vibrant Tobacco Sunburst paint job.  If you want a 50's style Les Paul that won't break the bank, this is the top choice.
