Les Paul electric guitar in the style of the fifties
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Classic White Top captures the visual and tonal ideals of the 1950s, making it an ideal instrument for Blues and Rock. The guitar features a solid mahogany body without weight relief, a classic maple top, and a glued mahogany neck with a pleasantly rounded "Vintage 50s" profile. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard offers an authentic playing feel, perfectly suited for classic blues and rock techniques.
Proven features from the 1950s and a chic finish on the maple top make the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Classic White Top a real eye-catcher with a vintage sound.
The round "Vintage '50s" neck and the non-weight-reduced mahogany body of the LP Standard '50s are glued together in the classic way.
Traditionally built Les Paul
The guitar features a solid mahogany body without weight relief, a classic maple top, and a glued mahogany neck with a pleasantly rounded "Vintage 50s" profile. The 22-fret rosewood fingerboard offers an authentic playing feel, perfectly suited for classic blues and rock techniques.
Gibson Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 Alnico II humbuckers with PAF genes promise authentic blues and rock sounds with a vintage touch.
Gibson Burstbucker pickups
As the pickup for the Les Paul Standard '50s guitar, Gibson has chosen a set of the popular Burstbucker pickups, carrying the DNA of the legendary PAF humbuckers. With Alnico II magnets and unpaired coils, the pickups deliver airy, light vintage tones with a vocal mid-range and lively dynamics from the amplifier, whose specialty is classic blues and rock styles. The stronger bridge pickup generates a harmonic overdrive from the amp with well-measured assertiveness. The hand-wired circuit, featuring individual volume and tone pots for each pickup and "Orange Drop" capacitors, allows precise control over the guitar’s sound.
Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone flights keep the Les Paul Standard '50s securely in tune.
Vintage-style hardware
Finally, Gibson outfits the Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Pelham Blue Top with hardware faithful to the 1950s. The lightweight aluminum stopbar guides the strings over the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose adjustment options ensure precise intonation and comfortable string action. At the headstock, the strings pass over a Graph Tech nut to the accurate vintage Deluxe tuners, which keep the guitar securely in tune while preserving the historic look with single-ring keystone wings.
