Les Paul electric guitar with fifties style
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Honey Amber embodies the visual and tonal ideals of the legendary "Burst" Les Pauls of the 1950s. Accordingly, the electric guitar turns out to be the perfect instrument for Blues and rock. While the traditional construction is based on a mahogany body without weight relief, the obligatory maple top, and a pleasantly rounded mahogany neck, Gibson Burstbucker pickups provide top-class sounds with an unmistakable vintage character. Last but not least, the hardware equipment with Tune-O-Matic bridge and VintageDeluxe tuners, tried and tested since the fifties, completes the Gibson Les Paul standard.
Les Paul electric guitar in Honey Amber from the Gibson USA Original Collection
The round "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 guitar pays particular attention to an authentic playing feel and a natural vintage sound. Under the nitrocellulose finish, a glued mahogany neck is used in addition to the solid mahogany body without weight relief and the lightly flamed maple top. The pleasantly rounded "Vintage 50s" neck profile creates the best conditions for implementing classic blues and rock playing techniques on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Gibson Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 Alnico II humbuckers with PAF genes promise authentic blues and rock sounds with a vintage touch.
Gibson Burstbucker pickups
As the pickup for the Les Paul Standard '50s guitar, Gibson has chosen a set of the popular Burstbucker pickups, which carry the genes of the legendary PAF humbuckers. Equipped with Alnico II magnets and unpaired coils, the pickups elicit airy, light Vintage sounds with a vocal mid-range spectrum and lively dynamics from the guitar amp, whose métier is the classic styles of Blues and rock. The more powerful bridge pickup elicits a harmonic Overdrive from the amplifier with well-dosed assertiveness. The hand-wired circuit with individual volume and tone pots for each pickup and "Orange Drop" capacitors allows precise adjustment of the guitar sound.
Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone flights keep the Les Paul Standard '50s securely in tune.
Vintage-style hardware
Last but not least, Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '50s Honey Amber with the hardware equipment that has been established since the fifties. The lightweight aluminum stopbar guides the strings over the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, whose adjustment options guarantee precise intonation and a comfortable string position. At the headstock, the strings run over a Graph Tech nut 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
