2023 Gibson USA 50s Les Paul Standard Cardinal Red Plain Top Chunky Neck, MINT in Original Box!

Here is a virtually new old stock 2023 Gibson Les Paul Standard, finished in a striking Cardinal Red.

This one presents as essentially like new throughout, with no real wear to speak of. It still includes the original shipping box, along with all original case candy and paperwork, making it a complete and highly intact example.

Visually, the Cardinal Red finish really stands out—bold, clean, and modern while still retaining that classic Les Paul silhouette and vibe. The guitar has clearly been well cared for and minimally, if ever, played.

Playability is excellent, with a comfortable and familiar ’50s-style neck profile measuring approximately 0.89” at the 1st fret and 1.00” at the 12th fret, offering a substantial but not overly large feel in the hand.

Tonally, it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a modern Les Paul Standard — full, rich, and balanced with strong sustain, articulate mids, and a smooth, musical top end. It plays easy and responds well across all styles.

At 9 lbs. 2 oz., it has a solid, resonant feel with plenty of sustain and authority.
