Throwing back to the absolute beginning, the Les Paul Standard 50s Mahogany Top keeps everything familiar while staying endlessly exciting. This unique flavor of the Gibson classic cranks a few notches up for fans from across generations to pick up and enjoy.

This Les Paul Standard differs from the usual Les Paul formula right off the bat with its body construction. Bearing more similarity to some Les Paul Customs rather than the tried-and-true Les Paul, this Standard 50s is constructed with both a mahogany body and mahogany top. Where maple is normally the choice of top for the Les Paul, this mahogany selection makes for a more midrange-focused, slightly warmer tone from the get-go.

The Les Paul Standard 50s continues on from there at a familiar pace. Its mahogany neck assumes a 50s Vintage profile shape while a rosewood fingerboard meets up with it, lined with twenty-two frets. Effortlessly playable across the fingers and the palm, this Les Paul plays with ease and speed. Across the body and fingerboard, single-ply black binding appears to line the TV Yellow finish and accentuate the classic Les Paul curvature.

The sonic experience of this Les Paul Standard keeps on rolling ahead with the addition of two Gibson Burstbucker humbucking pickups. These pickups delivers on their namesake as they bark and sing to get creative with and play with a stellar voice when clean, overdriven, distorted, or anywhere else in between. Hand-wired with Alnico 2 magnets to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, the Burstbuckers offer a responsive and high-fidelity sound across its full amplified range.

A selection of fine hardware specifications build upon this sonic profile. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece ground strings solidly for sturdy intonation. These pieces are matched at the guitar's opposite end with a Graph Tech nut and six Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with Keystone Buttons. Enhancing ease in string changes and assuring consistent playability across the full scale length, these hardware specs compound for a totally solid instrument. This Les Paul Standard 60s Mahogany Top travels with a Gibson hardshell case from gig to gig, making its name known.

This '50s-minded version of an electric guitar icon builds upon decades of design for a modern incarnation. Gibson's inspired looks and sounds ride another day on this Les Paul Standard.
