Reviving the timeless appeal of Gibson’s golden era, the Les Paul Standard '50s Faded offers classic tone and style with a lightly aged, satin-finished twist. This model captures the essence of the iconic '50s Les Pauls, combining a non-weight-relieved mahogany body, a figured AA maple top, and a satisfyingly chunky 50s Vintage neck profile. The Faded Satin Nitrocellulose finish enhances both visual character and playing feel, giving the guitar the worn-in comfort of a well-loved instrument right out of the case.

Tonally, this Les Paul stays true to its roots with a pair of Burstbucker pickups: a slightly underwound Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a hotter Burstbucker 2 in the bridge. These are hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors for dynamic responsiveness and vintage-inspired tone that ranges from warm, singing leads to biting, articulate rhythms. Whether you're chasing classic rock crunch, bluesy sustain, or smooth jazz cleans, the Les Paul Standard '50s Faded delivers in spades.

This model is a dream come true for purists, tone chasers, and players who want old-school mojo with modern reliability. From its carved maple top and set neck construction to its vintage keystone tuners and ABR-1 bridge, every detail reflects Gibson’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and tone. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this Gibson classic comes with a sturdy hardshell case, meaning you’re road-ready from the moment you unbox it.
