The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s in Heritage Cherry Sunburst carries the spirit of the company’s most celebrated era — an era that helped define modern electric guitar tone. Introduced in the early 1950s, the original Les Paul Standard quickly became a staple in blues, rock, and jazz, thanks to its thick sustain, warm response, and unmistakable midrange presence. This ’50s-spec recreation captures that same golden-age character with period-accurate construction: a solid, non-weight-relieved mahogany body topped with a carved maple cap, a ’50s Vintage neck profile, and traditional-style electronics that faithfully echo the voice of the earliest humbucker-equipped Les Pauls.

Tonally, the pairing of Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 pickups — each loaded with Alnico 2 magnets — delivers the openness, dynamic sensitivity, and sweet upper harmonics associated with the best early PAF-style pickups. They provide enough clarity for jazz and blues while offering the rich saturation favored by classic and hard rock players. Hand-wired controls with audio taper pots and Orange Drop capacitors give you exceptional responsiveness, allowing subtle volume tweaks to transition effortlessly from clean to crunch without losing musicality or nuance.

Whether you’re seeking vintage character, studio-ready versatility, or a reliable companion for live performance, the Les Paul Standard ’50s delivers the kind of feel, tone, and craftsmanship that continue to make the model one of the most enduring electric guitars ever built. Complete with a Gibson hardshell case, this instrument stands as both a tribute to history and a ready-for-any-stage workhorse. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
