The Gibson Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Ebony Top embodies the visual and tonal ideals 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 Vintage Deluxe tuners, which has been tried and tested since the fifties, completes the Gibson Les Paul standard.

The traditional construction of the Les Paul pays particular attention to an authentic playing feel and a natural vintage sound. Under the Ebony finish, a glued mahogany neck is used in addition to the solid mahogany body without weight relief and the 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.

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 with well-dosed assertiveness from the amplifier. The hand-wired circuit with individual volume and tone pots for each pickup and "Orange Drop" capacitors allows precise adjustment of the guitar sound.

Last but not least, Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '50s Plain Pelham Blue Top 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 action. 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.
