Full Description

Classic style with a custom colour finish

The Gibson Custom Colour Series Les Paul Standard 50s is a stunning fusion of vintage elegance and modern flair. Its AA figured maple top, finished in a vibrant Transparent 60s Cherry lacquer, immediately catches the eye, showcasing the intricate wood grain beneath. This unique custom colour finish not only sets it apart visually but also pays homage to the rich heritage of Gibson’s Golden Era. The gloss nitrocellulose lacquer ensures that the guitar’s natural resonance is preserved, delivering a lively, organic tone.

Rich, resonant tones with premium construction

This Les Paul is built with a solid mahogany body, a classic tonewood known for its warm, rich sound and exceptional sustain. Paired with the AA figured maple top, the guitar offers a balanced tonal spectrum, combining the warmth of mahogany with the bright, articulate character of maple. This iconic wood combination has been a hallmark of Gibson guitars for decades, ensuring that each note you play rings out with clarity and depth. From soaring solos to thick, punchy rhythm parts, this guitar responds with exceptional resonance and clarity.

Vintage-inspired playability and comfort

The Les Paul Standard 50s is designed for those who appreciate the feel of a true vintage guitar. Its mahogany neck features a rounded 50s Vintage profile, providing a comfortable grip that suits a wide range of playing styles. The Indian rosewood fingerboard, with its smooth surface and classic acrylic trapezoid inlays, offers a familiar and comfortable playing experience. Medium jumbo frets provide a perfect balance between smooth bending and precise intonation, ensuring that every note is perfectly in tune. This combination of features makes it the perfect guitar if you're seeking a classic feel without sacrificing playability.

Authentic vintage tones with Burstbucker pickups

At the heart of the Gibson Custom Colour Series Les Paul Standard 50s are its calibrated Burstbucker pickups – a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge. These pickups are crafted with Alnico 2 magnets, faithfully capturing the rich, dynamic tones of classic PAF humbuckers. From smooth, warm neck tones to biting bridge leads, the Burstbuckers deliver a wide range of vintage-inspired sounds. The pickups are hand-wired to Orange Drop capacitors, offering enhanced tonal clarity and control. This setup ensures that every note you play is full of character, perfect for rock, blues, and more.
