Gibson USA Les Paul Standard 50s Electric Guitar in Solid Sparkling Burgundy

The iconic Gibson Les Paul Standard, a timeless classic that speaks for itself having been one the leading and most popular guitars in the music industry. The Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘50s Solid Top harkens back to the classic design and look that graced the stage 70 years ago.

Classic Construction

Featuring a solid Mahogany body, with a Maple top in a solid Nitrocellulose finish, and PAF-style pickups. This Les Paul utilises all the authentic era specifications that made you fall in love with this guitar in the first place. The Mahogany “50s Style” neck has a chunkier feel, compared to the slim taper of later Les Paul designs, giving you comfortable thumb support moving around the neck.

PAF Style Burstbuckers

The Burstbucker Humbuckers on the ‘50s standard have a warmer output sporting Alnico II magnets that produce a classic PAF-style sound. Rich and warm in tone, these pickups give you a beefy low-end and clear mid-range, whilst being able to handle clarity in overdriven gain when turned up to the max.

Key Features

• Classically Meets Contemporary – Constructed with era-correct appointments, built to perfection to meet modern standards with a tonal resonance and sonic range to rival any stage.
• PAF-Style Humbuckers – Projects that classic and timeless Les Paul sound with a balanced, rich mid-range and beefy low-end.
• Comfortably Chunky – Staying true to the original Les Paul, the ‘50s Vintage neck profile provides a comfortable feel for bigger hands or those that prefer to add extra thumb support when moving up and down the fretboard.
