With the Gibson Les Paul '50s Standard Faded Honeyburst Gibson USA presents a Les Paul electric guitar, which, in terms of color and equipment, is clearly oriented towards the legendary "Burst" from the end of the fifties. For example, the muted honeyburst finish, which offers the pleasant feel of a vintage electric guitar, adorns the classic mahogany body with a glued neck and a stylish "Plain Top" maple top. The Gibson '57 Classic Humbucker features two Alnico magnets which deliver warm to vintage sounds, which are reminiscent of the legendary PAFs and are designed for singing blues licks or juicy rock riffs. The Gibson Les Paul 's 50s standard Faded Honeyburst is rounded off by a high - quality hardware configuration in the form of reliable Kluson style tuners with a tried and tested combination of the Tune - O - Matic bridge and the stop bar tailpiece.
I play since 1960 and used to have about 50 and still own around 25 top guitars, most of them Les Pauls, from €500 to €3000. This one is arguably the most cost effective, together with €600 2014 LPJ and €1400 2015 LP Standard or €900 Midtown. The sound is very open and dynamic and 50s in a good way so that with a minimal valve overdrive in my (all tube) combo I get fabulous jazz, blues, funk and rock sounds. Very versatile and can probably play even metal. I prefer redish and bluish finishes, yet this faded honey looks fine. The woods are not perfect, yet technically the guitar sounds as Les Paul should, so to get a better 50s LP guitar you'll have to pay €6000 or more. Summary: if you want a 50s Les Paul, this is it. preferably CHOOSE the actual guitar in a store. This is worth extra €200-300!
