Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Electric Guitar - Tobacco Burst - LPS500TONH
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
Hand-selected mahogany body with carved maple top for the iconic Les Paul tonal balance. PAF-inspired humbuckers delivering thick, warm, endlessly sustaining tone. Set-neck construction for enhanced resonance and sustain. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the wood breathe and mature.
Keep the neck pickup volume at 7 with the bridge at full, then switch to the middle position - you'll discover a shimmering clarity and chime that most Les Paul players never explore. It's like finding a hidden third voice.
A Gibson Les Paul is rock history in your hands. From Slash's searing 'November Rain' solo to Joe Bonamassa's devastating blues tone, this guitar has defined what electric guitar should sound like for generations. The combination of mahogany warmth, maple brightness, and humbucker power creates a voice that's instantly recognizable and endlessly inspiring. Once you play a well-set-up Les Paul, nothing else quite scratches the same itch.
