Here for sale we have a Gibson Les Paul Les Paul Standard 50s in Faded Vintage Honey Burst finish. Made in the USA in 2023, this guitar features a set-neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with AA Figured Maple top, Mahogany neck and 22 Medium Jumbo fret Rosewood fingerboard. This instrument is equipped with a ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. A set of Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with Keystone Buttons are featured along with a Gibson BurstBucker 2 in the bridge and a Gibson BurstBucker 1 in the neck position, these are wired to the standard Les Paul control layout.
The Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the 50’s Rounded profile filling the hand without being overly thick, this offers a balanced and smooth playing experience. The Medium Jumbo frets and 12" radius provide a robust and smooth playing experience all across the Rosewood fingerboard, and enhance string bending and vibrato techniques. The single cutaway body design allows the player to access the higher register with ease, allowing for fast lead lines without any obstruction.
The Gibson pickups in this guitar offer a full, thick tone, plenty of warmth and roundness is present in the neck position. The middle position sounds punchy, with driving mids along with crisp and clear highs making for a nice blend of the two pickups. The bridge position provides open sustain and broad harmonic clarity, making chords sound crystalline and clear. The Classic Les Paul wiring gives plenty of versatility without any complicated switching, whilst offering pickups that are hand-wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors making this instrument great for tonal sculpting to the players desired taste. Another perfect example of Gibson paying tribute to its Golden Era of innovation and bringing the Gibson vintage authenticity back to life.
