GibsonLes Paul Standard '50s Figured Top Electric Guitar - Honey Amber

Product overview
About this model
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Figured Top electric guitar brings the feel, tone and visual character of a classic late-'50s Les Paul into a modern production instrument. Built with an AA figured maple top over a solid mahogany body, this Gibson Les Paul sunburst model delivers the familiar combination of warmth, sustain and upper-midrange bite that has shaped generations of rock, blues and studio guitar tones. A rounded '50s mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbuckers and handwired electronics with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors give the guitar a vintage-leaning response without sacrificing everyday reliability. Finished in Heritage Cherry Sunburst with nickel hardware and accompanied by a hardshell case, the Gibson Les Paul Standard offers the core build, voice and look players expect from one of the company's most enduring solidbody designs. AA Figured Maple Top and Mahogany Body The AA figured maple top gives this Les Paul Standard '50s its visual depth and added top-end definition, while the solid mahogany body supplies the warm midrange and long sustain associated with the model. This traditional tonewood pairing helps the guitar stay full and powerful without losing clarity when played through clean, overdriven or high-gain rigs. The solidbody construction keeps the feel and response close to the classic Les Paul formula, giving players a dense, resonant foundation for rhythm work, leads and layered studio parts. Burstbucker Pickups With PAF-Style Character Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbuckers give the guitar a vintage-inspired voice based on the character of early Gibson PAF pickups. The neck pickup produces a smooth, rounded response for warm leads, blues phrasing and clean chord work, while the bridge pickup adds more bite and focus for rock rhythm parts and singing lead lines. Handwired controls with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors support traditional Les Paul control over volume and tone, giving players two independent volume controls, two tone controls and a 3-way toggle for shaping the guitar from open, full-output drive to rolled-back cleaner textures. Rounded '50s Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard The rounded '50s mahogany neck profile gives the Les Paul Standard 50s a substantial, vintage-style feel that supports strong fretting-hand control without feeling overly thin or sharp. A rosewood fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays provides a familiar playing surface for chords, bends and upper-register lead work. The Graph Tech nut and 24.75" scale length contribute to a traditional Gibson feel, balancing comfortable string tension with the sustain and response players associate with a heritage Les Paul design. Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Vintage-Style Hardware A classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum stopbar tailpiece anchor the guitar with a proven hardware setup known for sustain, adjustability and dependable intonation. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons preserve the classic look while supporting stable tuning across regular playing, recording and performance use. Nickel hardware and gold top hat knobs complete the vintage-inspired presentation, keeping the guitar visually aligned with the late-'50s models that continue to define the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s identity. Classic Les Paul Tone and Playing Feel This Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Figured Top electric guitar is built for players who want the thicker feel, warm sustain and humbucker power of a traditional Les Paul with the added visual character of an AA figured maple top. It works naturally for blues, classic rock, hard rock, studio layering and any style that benefits from a strong midrange voice with independent pickup control. For players looking for a Gibson Les Paul Standard with classic construction, a rounded '50s neck and Heritage Cherry Sunburst finish, this model delivers the look, feel and sound that made the Les Paul a benchmark solidbody electric guitar.
