Classic '50s construction
The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is built with the same attention to detail that made the original models legendary. Featuring a solid mahogany body and a carved maple top, it delivers the warm resonance and sustain that define the Les Paul sound. Unlike modern weight-relieved versions, this guitar retains its traditional full-body construction, offering enhanced low-end depth and rich harmonic complexity. The figured maple top adds a striking aesthetic, highlighting Gibson’s craftsmanship. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar’s tone continues to evolve over time, ensuring a natural, responsive playing experience.
Iconic 50s neck profile
The 50s Vintage neck profile offers a substantial feel that makes playing comfortable and expressive. Crafted from solid mahogany, it provides the perfect balance between grip and playability, ideal for both rhythm and lead work. The bound Indian rosewood fretboard enhances the smooth feel, while 22 medium jumbo frets allow for effortless bends and accurate articulation. With a 12-inch fingerboard radius and classic acrylic trapezoid inlays, this Les Paul stays true to its vintage roots. From laying down thick chords to soaring single-note melodies, the ergonomic neck design ensures an authentic playing experience.
Authentic PAF-inspired pickups
Loaded with Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups, this Les Paul delivers the rich, dynamic tone that defined an era. These Alnico 2 humbuckers are carefully voiced to replicate the warmth and clarity of early PAF pickups, capturing every detail of your playing. The neck pickup offers smooth, rounded lows with a singing sustain, while the bridge pickup provides crisp bite and powerful midrange punch. Capable of handling everything from articulate cleans to thick overdriven tones, these pickups ensure the depth and definition that made the original Les Paul famous.
Vintage-inspired hardware and electronics
Every component of the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is designed for classic tone and reliability. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece work together to maximise sustain and tuning stability, while Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons add a traditional aesthetic with modern precision. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth, responsive tone shaping, letting you dial in everything from warm jazz voicings to aggressive rock crunch. Gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the vintage-inspired look, making this Les Paul a perfect combination of heritage and performance.
