There must be lefties at Gibson, because this left-handed Les Paul Standard rocks! The age-old adage says that left-handed people are the only ones in their right minds. The Les Paul Standard. The name alone symbolizes excellence and innovation. Crank up a Les Paul and experience the power and performance of a Gibson.
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.
