Les Paul electric guitar in the style of the fifties
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Sparkling Burgundy Top embodies the visual and tonal ideals of the 1950s, making it the perfect instrument for Blues and Rock. Featuring a traditional mahogany body without weight relief, a maple top, and a comfortably rounded mahogany neck, this guitar delivers classic vintage tone. Burstbucker pickups provide rich, dynamic sounds with unmistakable vintage character. Completing the package, proven hardware including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners ensures authentic performance and style.
Proven features from the 1950s and a chic finish on the maple top make the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Sparkling Burgundy 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 Les Paul’s traditional construction focuses on authentic playability and a natural vintage sound. Beneath the Sparkling Burgundy top, a glued mahogany neck joins a solid mahogany body without weight relief, topped with maple for added tonal clarity. The "Vintage 50s" neck profile offers a comfortable, rounded feel, making it ideal for classic blues and rock techniques on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
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
The Les Paul Standard '50s is equipped with Gibson’s popular Burstbucker pickups, carrying the heritage of the legendary PAF humbuckers. Featuring Alnico II magnets and unpaired coils, they produce airy, light vintage tones with a vocal midrange and lively dynamics. The bridge pickup delivers harmonic overdrive with controlled assertiveness, perfect for driving your amp in classic blues and rock styles. A hand-wired circuit with individual volume and tone controls for each pickup, along with "Orange Drop" capacitors, allows precise tonal shaping.
Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone flights keep the Les Paul Standard '50s securely in tune.
Vintage-style hardware
Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '50s with hardware faithful to the 1950s. The lightweight aluminum stopbar guides the strings over the ABR-1Tune-O-Matic bridge, providing accurate intonation and comfortable action. Strings pass over a Graph Tech nut to the vintage-style Deluxe tuners, which maintain stable tuning and complement the historic aesthetic with single-ring keystone tuner buttons. This combination of traditional construction, classic pickups, and vintage-style hardware makes the Les Paul Standard '50s a faithful homage to one of Gibson’s most iconic eras.
