Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard - Gold Top with Hard Shell Case

The Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard - Celebrating an Icon's Legacy with Vintage Flair Iconic Design Inspired by a Groundbreaking Artist

The Gibson Mary Ford Les Paul Standard is a tribute to Mary Ford, one of the most influential musicians of the early 1950s and a key collaborator with Les Paul. This unique model is based on a one-of-a-kind Les Paul Goldtop made for Mary, featuring the signature craftsmanship and sound that defined her pioneering contributions to multi-track recording and genre-blending music. With its Goldtop finish and distinctive floral pickguard and armrest, the Mary Ford Les Paul Standard stands out both visually and sonically.

Crafted with Premium Materials and Authentic Details

This Les Paul Standard features a classic mahogany body with a maple top, complemented by a vintage cherry back-a rare detail for Goldtop models. The mahogany neck, paired with a rosewood fretboard and a SlimTaper profile, ensures smooth playability and comfort. Authentic design elements like the single-ply binding on the top and fretboard and trapezoid inlays further capture the spirit of the original model.

Burstbucker Pickups for Classic Les Paul Tone

Equipped with a Burstbucker 2 in the neck position and a Burstbucker 3 in the bridge, the Mary Ford Les Paul Standard delivers a wide tonal range, from warm, smooth sounds to powerful, driven tones. The hand-wired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors provide enhanced clarity and response, while the dual volume and tone controls offer versatile sound-shaping options for any style.
