Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top, Tobacco Burst

Full Description

Classic 50s Les Paul Tone And Feel

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top delivers the rich, resonant tone that defined an era of music. Built with a solid mahogany body and a carved maple top, it recreates the depth and warmth of the original 1950s models. This combination of tonewoods ensures thick, punchy lows, full-bodied mids, and singing highs, making it a powerhouse for rock, blues, and beyond. With no weight relief, the guitar maintains the full resonance and sustain that players expect from a true vintage-inspired Les Paul. The 50s Vintage neck profile adds to the classic feel, filling the hand with a substantial yet comfortable grip that encourages expressive bends and effortless chord transitions.

Vintage-Voiced Burstbucker Pickups

At the heart of the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is a set of Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups, designed to recreate the legendary sound of early PAF humbuckers. These Alnico 2 magnet pickups provide an unmistakable vintage warmth, delivering rich midrange and crisp articulation with just the right amount of bite. The Burstbucker 1 in the neck position produces smooth, full-bodied tones ideal for jazzier cleans and thick, creamy overdrive. Meanwhile, the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge adds extra heat, cutting through the mix with a punchy, well-defined growl that’s perfect for classic rock and blues solos.

Premium Electronics For Superior Tone

Gibson has equipped the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top with a hand-wired control circuit featuring Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring vintage-accurate tone and smooth, musical roll-off. These high-quality components provide a consistent and dynamic response, allowing you to shape your sound with precision. The traditional two-volume, two-tone layout gives you full control over each pickup, making it easy to blend tones or dial in specific sounds for rhythm and lead sections.

Rock-Solid Hardware And Vintage Aesthetics

Every detail of the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top has been designed to deliver both reliability and vintage appeal. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece provide exceptional tuning stability, sustain, and resonance, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity and depth. These classic hardware choices not only enhance performance but also maintain the integrity of the original 50s Les Paul design. Combined with Vintage Deluxe tuners featuring Keystone buttons, the guitar stays in tune through long playing sessions, offering consistent performance on stage and in the studio.
