The 1950s Icon at the Heart of the "Original Collection"
A true return to the roots, the Les Paul Standard '50s carries the DNA of the models that shaped rock, blues, and pop. Its solid mahogany body, maple top, and glossy nitrocellulose finish, combined with the ABR-1 bridge, gold speed knobs with pointers, amber selector tip, and cream pickguard, celebrate Gibson's golden age with meticulous authenticity.
Who Is the Les Paul Standard '50s For?
Designed for intermediate to professional guitarists, it excels in blues, classic rock, hard rock, soul, and pop genres. Its rounder "Vintage 50s" neck favors powerful chord playing, singing bends, and sustained solos, while remaining comfortable for long studio or stage sessions.
The Sound
The mahogany/maple duo offers full mids, dense lows, and precise highs. The Burstbucker 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) pickups with AlNiCo II magnets deliver a vintage voicing: creamy cleans, organic crunch, and smooth saturation. The 2 volume/2 tone controls and 3-way selector switch allow blending pickups and fine-tuning the attack. The ABR-1 bridge + aluminum stopbar enhances vibration transfer and sustain, for effortless note-holding leads.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Nickel electric string set 10-46 (original setup) to preserve feel and tonal balance, standard strap for Gibson strap buttons, Les Paul-sized gig bag or case as a complement to the included hard case, electric guitar capo (12" radius compatible).

Ordered for 1611 (!) at the beginning of June and received on August 10 due to the delivery times imposed by Gibson. At that price, I bought the Gibson Les Paul Standard of my dreams. A fairly thick 50s round handle but far from being a log and which is perfect for my little hands. No flaws in the finish, it is the first time I have received such a perfect guitar. The table is magnificent, the microphones are very convincing with very sharp highs, the mechanics make my LP keep the tuning well. It's a heavy guitar, those who like to run 3 hours on stage will go to the physio. The most beautiful guitar I have ever received and the only guitar that I am sure I will never part with. A low price, but I also have a low-cost Asian LP at home for 150 and it must be admitted that it is certainly not worth 10x less. With Gibson we also buy a brand and a dream. The case is perfect, you want to sniff it every morning when you wake up in addition. I don't think it's perversion. Just love. A big thank you to Woodbrass for the impeccable delivery and to Stéphane who was a very professional interlocutor, both for the advice and for the follow-up. All that's left to do is buy me a tube amp.
