The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 Tobacco Burst comes in authentic 1950s style.
Gibson P-90 single coil pickups promise lively blues and rock sounds with fat midrange and explosive response.
Gibson P-90 Single Coil Pickups
As pickup for the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 guitar Gibson chooses a set of the popular P-90 pickups, which carries the genes of the best vintage pickups of the American traditional manufacturer. Equipped with Alnico magnets, the single-coil pickups elicit airy Vintage sounds with a fat midrange spectrum from the guitar amp, whose métier is the classic styles of Blues and rock. With their explosive dynamic response, the P-90 single coil pickup also reacts perfectly to the playing style, so that every riff and lick is expressively staged. The hand-wired circuitry with dedicated volume and tone pots for each pickup and "Orange Drop" capacitors allows precise adjustment of the guitar sound.
The rounded "Vintage 50s" neck and the non-weight-reduced mahogany body of the LP Standard '50s are glued together.
Traditionally built Les Paul
The traditional construction of the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 pays special attention to an authentic playing feel and a natural vintage sound. Under the nitrocellulose finish, a gluedmahoganyneck is used alongside the solid mahogany body without weight relief and the maple top. The "Vintage 50s" neck profile with a pleasant rounding creates the best conditions for implementing classic blues and rock playing techniques on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Vintage deluxe tuners with keystone flights keep the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 securely in tune.
Vintage style hardware
Last but not least, Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 Tobacco Burst with hardware established since the Fifties. The lightweight aluminium stopbar guides the strings over the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose adjustment options guarantee precise intonation and comfortable string action. At the headstock, the strings run over a Graph Tech saddle to the precise Vintage Deluxe tuners, which not only keep the electric guitar securely in tune but also support the historic look with single-ring keystone wings.
This is a Gibson of old, made in the old way, sounds like the old way and set up 10 times better than the old way. I have refused point blank to buy a Gibson for many years due to their sub standard and sloppy production but I can honestly say it really has been worth the weight. Very very highly recommended and priced about right now as well. Well done Gibson 👏

I was so happy when I had the guitar but when I started playing the bridge humbucker didn't work EVEN thought it certified by it's quality from Gibson and MusicStore.
Really shameful from Gibson and MusicStore but the store sent me a new one that has some finishing issues but I kept because I fell in love with it and I didn't want to go through this a 3rd time.
Be aware of buying from MusicStore but bear in mind they will help you if you contact with a faulty product

This Les Paul is a chunky boi, it is heavy, both in weight and sound. The cleans really clear and sweet sounding, the neck is also a chunky piece of wood to wrap that hand around, the finish is lovely and very sparkly shiny. Its great
