The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s in Blueberry Burst is a stunning blend of vintage tone and timeless style. Its mahogany body with an AA figured maple top delivers rich sustain, warm lows, and singing highs, while the Burstbucker pickups provide classic PAF-inspired clarity and depth. The ’50s vintage neck profile offers a full, comfortable feel that encourages expressive playing, paired beautifully with a smooth rosewood fingerboard. Finished in a vibrant nitrocellulose lacquer, it’s as visually captivating as it is sonically inspiring. From studio sessions to stage lights, this Les Paul brings unmistakable character and feel to every note you play!
The Les Paul™ Standard 50s Figured Top 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. It boasts a solid mahogany body, an AA figured maple top, and a distinctive translucent custom color nitrocellulose lacquer finish that showcases the figured maple top. The mahogany neck has a rounded 50s Vintage profile and a rosewood fingerboard with trapezoid inlays. The Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with Alnico 2 magnets and wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. A hardshell case is also included.
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
