Independent shopping perspective
Gibson's Les Paul Standard '50s Faded combines a mahogany body, AA figured maple top, and satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish in Vintage Honey Burst. The rounded '50s mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard put its traditional Les Paul layout at the center of the experience. Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbuckers are controlled with separate volume and tone knobs plus a three-way toggle, so players can work pickup balance directly from the guitar. It arrives with a Gibson hardshell case.
