A Tribute to Gibson's Golden Age, in a "Custom Color" Version

The Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top continues the legacy of models that defined the modern electric guitar: traditional construction, timeless aesthetics, and a unique blend of power and harmonic richness. This version emphasizes the authenticity of the "Standard 50s" experience while offering a strong visual presence thanks to its figured top and nitro lacquer finish, prized for its resonance and natural aging.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Les Paul targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive guitar with character under the fingers and real playing dynamics. It excels in rock, blues, classic rock, hard rock, and contexts where a dense, singing tone is desired, while remaining defined enough for riffs as well as solos. The Vintage 50s neck profile is especially suited for those who prefer rounder, fuller, and stable necks.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany (body and neck) + maple top is one of Gibson's most famous recipes: mahogany provides a warm foundation, generous mids, and natural sustain, while maple adds attack, definition, and a nice presence in the upper spectrum. The Burstbucker 1 and 2, loaded with Alnico 2 magnets, deliver a vintage humbucker tone: roundness at the neck pickup for creamy leads and rich chords, and more bite at the bridge pickup for riffs that cut through the mix. The wiring with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors makes volume and tone controls especially useful for sculpting the sound, from nuanced clean to thick saturation.
