Full Description

Authentic 50s construction

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s stays true to the iconic design that defined an era. Built with a solid mahogany body and carved maple top, it delivers the full, rich resonance that made the original Les Paul a legend. With no weight relief, you get maximum sustain and a naturally warm tone that responds beautifully to your playing dynamics, just like the coveted vintage models from the 1950s.

Classic 50s neck profile

The 50s Vintage neck profile provides a comfortable, full-feeling grip that suits a wide range of styles. If you're playing powerful rhythm parts or intricate lead lines, the rounded shape fills your hand naturally, offering excellent support and stability. Combined with the bound rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, it delivers smooth playability and a classic feel that invites hours of effortless playing.

Vintage-voiced Burstbucker pickups

Loaded with Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups, this Les Paul captures the unmistakable warmth and clarity of original PAF humbuckers. Using Alnico 2 magnets, they deliver sweet mids, singing highs, and tight lows, perfectly recreating the legendary tones that shaped rock 'n' roll. Every note rings with harmonic complexity, making this guitar equally at home for bluesy cleans or roaring overdriven solos.

Hand-wired precision electronics

With hand-wired controls, Orange Drop capacitors, and audio taper pots, the Les Paul Standard 50s gives you ultimate control over your tone. Subtle volume and tone adjustments respond with precision, allowing you to shape your sound exactly the way you want. From warm, jazzy cleans to rich, saturated drive tones, this wiring setup ensures your sound remains clear, musical, and full of character across the entire tonal spectrum.
