Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent (upgraded pickups and pots, original pots included, original pickups not included)

You've gotta love an old school, hulk of an LP! With a chunky '50s style neck, totally solid mahogany body, and a gorgeous figured maple top; it's got mass, it's got sustain, it's a beast!

SP Luthier Notes: Setup

From Gibson Guitars

The new 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 50's has a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded 50's-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 aged gold tophat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.
