The Gibson USA Les Paul Standard 50s pays homage to the origin of the instrument and the man himself with a power-packed, vintage-inspired tribute featuring a non-weight relieved mahogany body and carved maple top, mahogany neck with rounded ‘50s profile, rosewood fingerboard with acrylic traps, traditional hardware set, and ripping Burst Bucker 1 and Burst Bucker 2 humbucking pickups loaded with Alnico II magnets and wired with audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.
