This is what Gibson say about the Les Paul Standard 50s AAA:
A Timeless Reimagining
The Les Paul™ Standard 50s is a masterfully crafted tribute to the iconic instrument that reshaped popular music. Honoring the specifications of Gibson’s legendary 1950s era, this guitar features a solid mahogany body with a carved maple top, faithfully recreating the construction of those iconic models.
At the heart of its vintage charm is the 50s Vintage neck profile, designed to fill your hand comfortably for everything from powerful rhythm chords to expressive lead lines. The Indian rosewood fretboard, bound and adorned with 22 medium jumbo frets and classic trapezoid inlays, echoes the aesthetics that defined generations of electric guitar design. Combined, the solid body and sturdy neck provide a resonant foundation for the Burstbucker™ 1 and Burstbucker™ 2 pickups—both equipped with Alnico 2 magnets and carefully calibrated to reproduce the warm midrange, bright highs, and smooth lows of vintage PAF-style humbuckers.
Equipped with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors, this Les Paul responds with incredible precision to volume and tone adjustments, unlocking a wide range of sonic possibilities. From smooth jazz to heavy rock, these pickups bring out the same rich detail and harmonic depth that made the original Les Pauls legendary. The hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs—providing modern performance reliability with a classic aesthetic.
The Les Paul Standard 50s is a tribute to Gibson’s Golden Era, a time defined by groundbreaking innovation, expert craftsmanship, and pure musicality. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case, this guitar offers a look, feel, and sound that connects you directly to the roots of rock 'n' roll. Whether you're a purist, a collector, or someone who appreciates timeless design, this instrument stands as a symbol of everything that made the Les Paul an enduring classic.
