DESCRIPTION

Step into the golden age of rock with the Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s, a faithful tribute to one of the most iconic instruments in music history. This guitar captures the essence of the original Les Pauls that shaped generations of music, delivering legendary tone and classic style in equal measure.

At its core, the Les Paul Standard ’50s features a solid mahogany body topped with figured maple—a tonewood combination celebrated for its warmth, resonance, and bite. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only exudes vintage charm but also allows the wood to breathe and age gracefully over time, enriching the guitar’s tone with each passing year.

Its rounded ‘50s neck profile offers a substantial, comfortable grip that feels immediately familiar to vintage enthusiasts. The bound Indian rosewood fingerboard, fitted with 22 medium-jumbo frets and classic trapezoid inlays, provides a smooth, responsive playing surface that makes both chords and solos effortless.

The magic of this guitar lies in its Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups—a nod to the revered PAF humbuckers of the late 1950s. Powered by Alnico II magnets, these pickups deliver warm lows, cutting highs, and a touch of natural compression, making every note ring with authentic vintage character. Paired with handwired controls and Orange Drop capacitors, players enjoy exceptional tonal control and clarity across the entire frequency spectrum.

From the robust ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece to the vintage-style tuners, every piece of hardware is chosen for its tone, stability, and timeless aesthetic. Whether you’re tracking in the studio, gigging under stage lights, or just chasing that perfect vintage tone, the Les Paul Standard ’50s delivers an unforgettable playing experience.
