Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s
Overview
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s is an iconic electric guitar that captures the thick, warm sound of the original late-1950s Les Paul, aimed at players who crave that legendary humbucker tone. It features a mahogany body with a carved maple top, a rounded '50s-style mahogany neck profile, a rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a 12-inch radius. Two Burstbucker pickups with orange-drop tone capacitors and handwired electronics deliver the fat, creamy sustain and harmonically rich overdrive that has defined rock, blues, and jazz guitar for generations. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece provide excellent sustain and intonation stability. Fit and finish meet the standards expected from Gibson's Nashville facility, with quality nitrocellulose lacquer finishing, clean binding work, and careful fret installation. This guitar is ideal for players who want the authentic Les Paul experience with period-correct specifications and vintage-inspired voicing. The substantial weight " typically around nine pounds " can be fatiguing during long standing performances.
