The Les Paul Standard. The name alone is known for innovation and excellence.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard sports a smaller, vintage style headstock and keystone tuner buttons and is available with a fat, rounded '50s style neck or a fast, slim taper '60s style neck. The Les Paul Standard is outfitted with the new BurstBucker Pro pickups with Alnico V magnets producing the most authentic, vintage Les Paul tone of any previous Standard pickups. The sunburst finishes are modern variations of the original cherry sunburst, and the AA-grade figured maple top is more highly flamed than many of the originals. They produce a crisp bite and a seductive airy tone with both pickups on.
The Gibson Les Paul has changed little since its debut in 1952. Except for an updated bridge and humbucking pickups, the Les Paul Standard of today is still the same guitar. The Les Paul has been the driving force behind many changes in popular music.
