Gibson - Les Paul Standard 50s Faded Electric Guitar with Hard Shell Case - Vintage Honey Burst

The Les Paul™ Standard 50s faded returns to the classic design that made it relevant, player 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. The Les Paul Standard 50s features a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives it the look and feel of a long-treasured musical companion. It has a solid mahogany body with no weight relief, as is traditional for Les Paul models, and a AA figured carved maple cap that adds a bit of bite and brightness to the warm tone of the mahogany body, and lets face it - figured maple just looks fantastic.

The mahogany neck has a 50s vintage-style profile with a bit of meat to it and is satisfyingly full in your hands when you play it without being too beefy, and the satin finish helps to keep the playing feel smooth and fast. The neck is capped with a rosewood fretboard that is fitted with 22 smooth-playing medium jumbo frets and adorned with acrylic trapezoid inlays. The 12" fretboard radius makes first position chording and upper fret string bends equally comfortable.

The Les Paul Standard 50s faded is equipped with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, an aluminium Stop bar tailpiece, a Graph Tech® nut and vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, all of which helps contribute to its renown sustain and help to keep the tuning stability rock solid. Both of the pickups have individual volume and tone controls, with gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers, so you'll always know exactly how you have the control settings dialled up.

The Gibson Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups feature nickel covers and are hand-wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors. A hard shell case is included to keep the Les Paul Standard 50s Faded safe and secure when you're not playing it and when you're travelling to and from your next show.
