This is a 2021 Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. It comes with the original hardshell case and all case candy. I am the original owner. I purchased the guitar brand new from Sweetwater in 2021.

I have never gigged with the guitar and it has only been out of my home studio a handful of times. The guitar is in immaculate condition. There are only some very light picking blemishes here and there. No nicks or dings at all anywhere. The plastic jack does have a little crack as you can see in one of the photos. However, this can easily be replaced for very cheap if so desired. Other than this, the guitar is in amazing condition.

The weight is 9 lbs. 10oz. The neck is a very comfortable 50s "C". I love the way it feels and sustains.

The flame is absolutely gorgeous on this Les Paul. It is very pronounced and changes dramatically as the guitar is viewed from various angles. I also love the deep cherry hue of the back and the mahogany grain is so beautiful.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message and I will get right back to you. Thank you!

Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Electric Guitar - Heritage Cherry Sunburst

From its carved maple top to its stockpile of premium features, the Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s is ready to rock. Burstbucker pickups and handwired electronics deliver a massive tone arsenal. And you’ll enjoy

effortless playability courtesy of a satisfying vintage ’50s profile neck and fast-action rosewood fingerboard. If you’ve been wanting a modern Les Paul with a chunky neck feel and premium appointments. The Gibson Les Paul Standard ’50s is the guitar you’ve been waiting for.

Burstbucker pickups deliver vintage PAF tone

When it comes to capturing that vintage ’50s Patent Applied For (PAF) humbucker tone, nothing beats the sound of this Les Paul Standard’s Burstbucker pickups. Alnico II magnets

capture the subtle variations in true humbucker tone, thanks to the period-correct unmatched windings on the bobbins. Plug into your favorite amp, and experience smooth low-end response, complex midrange crunch, and sweet-sounding highs. These pickups sound great clean, or they can be used to push your amp into overdrive for the legendary fat, snarling tone you can only get with a humbucker. Under the hood, the control assembly is handwired with matched potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, ensuring that you’ll hear the mellifluous voice of your Les Paul Standard ’50s in all its glory, even when you back down your volume.

Vintage ’50s neck and Plek’d frets for optimized playability

Comfort and playability were two of Gibson’s primary concerns when they were designing the Les Paul Standard ’50s. You’ll be delighted by how this guitar’s vintage ’50s neck profile comfortably fills your hand in just the right way. For your playing pleasure, the rosewood fingerboard is buffed to

silky smoothness and bound with rolled edges so that no fret ends impede your dexterity. The frets are dressed to perfection using a Plek Pro machine for optimized playability. Typically reserved for top-dollar custom guitars, this process levels the frets with pinpoint precision, providing you with the most playable fretboard you’re likely to own.

Nitro finish for the look and feel of a classic

Gibson gave the Les Paul Standard ’50s a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Nitro finishes — standard back in the day — are significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look amazing, but they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. The Les Paul Standard ’50s has the look and feel of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
