This Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s in Tobacco Burst is brand new, and includes its original hardshell case, and manufacturer's warranty. This electric guitar weighs 9 lb 15 oz.
The Les Paul combines a mahogany body with a carved and AA Figured Maple Top. This tonewood combo offers thick tone along with a beautifully clear top-end. Finished in 100% nitrocellulose over a gorgeous Tobacco Burst finish.
The neck is made from Mahogany and topped with a bound Rosewood fingerboard. The neck is carved to a rounded 50s profile that is thicker than a 60s profile but still not as big as Custom Shop Reissue models. There are 22 medium jumbo frets installed which provide a smooth as glass playing surface. Being Plek'ed at the Gibson Factory sure doesn't hurt either!

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 50s-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, and trapezoid inlays. It has an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum stop bar tailpiece, vintage deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, and aged gold tophat knobs. The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with AlNiCo II magnets, audio taper potentiometers, and orange drop capacitors.
