A Tribute to Gibson's "Golden Era"

This Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top celebrates the aesthetics and craftsmanship that shaped countless albums since the late 1950s. Its AA figured maple top highlighted by a translucent "Custom Color" nitro finish and its historic ABR-1 hardware embody Gibson's philosophy: simplicity, noble materials, and immediate tone.

Who Is It For and What Styles?

Perfect for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a substantial feel and organic response. Versatile, it excels in classic rock, blues, hard rock, soul, pop, and can be creamy in jazz thanks to the neck pickup, while offering bite in saturated rhythm playing on the bridge side.

The Sound

The mahogany/maple combination offers a meaty midrange, silky highs, and firm lows, with natural sustain. The Burstbucker 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) with Alnico 2 magnets deliver a vintage grain: smooth and woody in the neck position, sharper and more defined at the bridge. The wiring with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors ensures smooth volume/tone transitions, ideal for sculpting from clean to crunch without losing clarity. The aluminum ABR-1/Stop Bar set enhances attack and tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve playability and tone, opt for nickel electric strings gauge 10-46 (or 9-46 for more flexibility), a quality 6.35 mm instrument cable, and a universal A-frame stand. With the included hard case, you are ready to hit the road right out of the box.
