Description
Our Take:
The Les Paul Standard '50s model from Gibson is a return to their Golden Era of Innovation. With a solid Mahogany body and Maple top, available in three different finishes, this guitar provides all the resonance and style of the original '50s Les Pauls. A rounded '50s neck profile and Rosewood fingerboard deliver true Gibson playing feel, complemented by the undeniable tone of two Burstbucker humbucking pickups. Shown here in Tobacco Burst.
Gibson's Take:
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. It's 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. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.
