The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top captures the essence of a golden era in electric guitar history.

The glossy nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood, allowing it to age gracefully over time. Designed with vintage accuracy, this model features a deep, rich Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish that highlights the figured maple grain, ensuring a stage-ready look that turns heads.
Powerful Burstbucker Pickups
At the heart of this Les Paul’s sound are the Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups, designed to recreate the legendary PAF humbucker tones of the 1950s. These Alnico II magnet pickups deliver a dynamic range with rich harmonics, smooth highs, and a tight low end. The Burstbucker 1 in the neck position provides warm, creamy tones, perfect for expressive lead lines and soulful rhythms, while the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge position adds a punchy midrange growl that cuts through any mix. From crisp cleans to saturated overdrive, these pickups provide vintage tone with modern reliability.
Premium Hardware And Tuning Stability
Designed for both performance and longevity, the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is fitted with high-quality hardware for superior tuning stability and resonance. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stop bar tailpiece provide a rock-solid foundation, ensuring optimal string vibration transfer and sustain. Vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons complete the old-school aesthetic while offering smooth and precise tuning adjustments. Combined with a Graph Tech nut, this setup ensures consistent tuning stability, making it ideal for everything from expressive bends to intricate fingerstyle passages.
Hand-Wired Electronics With Orange Drop Capacitors
Every element of this Les Paul is crafted for tonal excellence, including its hand-wired control circuitry. Featuring two volume and two tone controls, along with a three-way toggle switch, this guitar offers a wide range of tonal possibilities. Orange Drop capacitors are used in the tone circuit to provide smooth and musical high-end roll-off, ensuring clarity at all settings. Rolling back the tone creates a mellow jazz feel, while pushing the treble delivers searing rock solos. The electronics are designed to provide precise tonal shaping with a vintage-correct response, making every note rich, articulate, and full of character.
