Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Electric Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sunburst - LPS500HSNH
The new Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played 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 50's has a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded 50's-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. It's equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, and amber top hat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers and orange drop capacitors.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Heavy body construction with set neck for maximum sustain and warm harmonic character
Les Pauls are heavy; neck dive possible without proper strap and technique
Thick warmth and sustain for days have defined rock, blues, and jazz for generations. Once you play one set up right, nothing else compares. The guitar that turns practice into performance.
