With the new Les Paul Standard 50s Faded, Gibson returns to the design that definitively put the company on the map. The first thing you notice about this Les Paul is the rugged satin finish, which gives the instrument a played-in look and feel. Pick up the guitar and it feels like you've been playing it for years! Thanks to the AA-grade maple top, the guitar is a delight to the eye even without a glossy finish. True to the Les Paul form, the body is made from a single piece of high-quality mahogany. The same applies to the neck, which, thanks to the 50s-style profile, feels comfortably substantial in the hand. The open-coil Burstbucker pickups sound open and full, making them suitable for both heavy rock and sultry blues. And everything in between! This Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Faded comes with a Hardcase included.
