Much like models of the past, the Gibson Les Paul Standard 50's is a modern take on the fabled late 50s Bursts. In a nutshell, it’s all you’d expect - a solid Mahogany body with plain Maple top and a Mahogany ‘50s-style Rounded profile neck with Rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. Pickups are Burstbucker 1 & 2 with Alnico II magnets, which will output a warm, vintage PAF tone. These are running through a handwired control assembly, Vintage Audio Taper 500k Pots and Orange Drop capacitors. Again, the hardware is all as expected for a ‘50s model - ABR-1 Tune-OMatic bridge, Vintage Deluxe tuners w/Keystone Buttons, amber Top Hat knobs and amber switch cap.
There is also a 50’s style Goldtop fitted with a pair of P90’s – akin to the sacred pre-burst ’56 and ’57 models – no weight relief in its Mahogany body and 50’s profile neck, plain Maple top and Rosewood fingerboard, these pickups give a sound of their own.
Key Features:
- Mahogany body, maple top; gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish
- Mahogany neck, vintage ’50s profile, gloss nitro finish
- Rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius, acrylic trapezoid inlays
- 24.75" scale length; 22 medium jumbo frets
- Bridge pickup: Burstbucker 2 humbucker
- Neck pickup: Burstbucker 1 humbucker
- Handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors
- 3-way pickup selector; per-pickup volume and tone controls
- ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge; stopbar tailpiece
- 1.695" Graph Tech nut (proprietary Gibson formula)
- Vintage Deluxe tuning machines
- Single-action truss rod
