Overview
The Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved -- shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life. The Les Paul Standard '50s has a solid mahogany body with a "AAA" Maple Flame Top, a rounded '50s-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. It's equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, and amber top hat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.

"Gibson finally gets the Les Paul Standard right!"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I have owned many guitars through the years, Fender Strats, Telecasters, Epiphone Masterbuilt, Gretsch Dbl Jet and a couple of Gibson Les Paul's Classics and a 2014 Traditional. I must say, that the new Gibson Les Paul 50's Standard AAA Flame Top is the best guitar I have ever owned from a quality of build, materials and sound. Period. This guitar not only looks like a piece of art, it plays beautifully, very, very, very happy with this purchase. If you like Les Paul's, this is the one you have been waiting for.
