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 Gibsons Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life.
The Les Paul Standard 50s has a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded 50s-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. Its 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.
