Full Description

Premium Craftsmanship

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is a masterclass in premium craftsmanship, blending traditional techniques with modern precision. Its solid mahogany body provides unmatched warmth and sustain, while the AA figured maple top delivers a striking visual appeal. The translucent nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only highlights the wood's natural beauty but also allows the instrument to age gracefully, developing a rich patina over time. Attention to detail is evident in the single-ply binding and seamless neck joint, creating a flawless, high-end construction that lives up to the Les Paul legacy.

Iconic Vintage Tone

At the heart of this guitar's sound are the calibrated Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups, equipped with Alnico 2 magnets to replicate the warm, dynamic tones of the original PAF pickups. These hand-wired electronics, complete with Orange Drop capacitors, provide unparalleled tonal clarity and responsiveness. From sweet cleans to searing leads, you'll achieve the legendary Les Paul sound that has defined countless records and inspired generations. The Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups balance each other out perfectly, with immaculate yet varied tones being produced at both the neck and the bridge position.

Authentic Playing Experience

The 50s Vintage neck profile is a hallmark of this model, providing a rounded shape that feels substantial yet comfortable in hand. Paired with a rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, it offers a supremely smooth playing surface that'll make every lick and lead line flow with unmatched fluency. This combination ensures an authentic vintage feel while catering modern needs, ensuring that you're still granted exceedingly high levels of precision and comfort during long playing sessions.

Ultimate aesthetic and hardware

Built with premium hardware, the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece guarantee exceptional tuning stability and sustain. The Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons ensure precise adjustments, while the gold Top Hat knobs and nickel hardware add a timeless aesthetic. This guitar is a beautiful, trustworthy specimen that gives you all the glory of Gibson's golden era while ensuring peak modern performance.

Superior Attention To Detail

Every element of the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top reflects an unwavering commitment to perfection. The acrylic trapezoid inlays on the rosewood fingerboard provide both durability and classic style, while the cream pickguard and matching switch washer enhance the guitar’s vintage aesthetic. Even the nut, made from Graph Tech material, is precision-cut to optimise tuning stability and string balance. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that the guitar not only sounds incredible but also feels and looks like a true work of art.
