Les Paul electric guitar with style of the Fifties in exclusive Translucent Oxblood.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Custom Color Translucent Oxblood embodies the visual and tonal ideals of the legendary Les Pauls of the 1950s. Accordingly, the electric guitar turns out to be a perfect instrument for Blues and rock. While the traditional construction relies on a mahogany body without weight relief, the obligatory maple top and a pleasantly round mahogany neck, GibsonBurstbuckerpickups provide top-class sounds with unmistakable vintage character. Last but not least, the hardware equipment with Tune-O-Matic bridge and Vintage Deluxe tuners, proven since the Fifties, completes the Les Paul Standard '50s, which shines in the Music Store exclusive Translucent Oxblood nitrocellulose finish.
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Custom Color Translucent Oxblood comes in authentic 1950s style.
The rounded "Vintage 50s" neck and the non-weight-reduced mahogany body of the LP Standard '50s are glued together.
Traditionally built Les Paul
The traditional construction of the Les Paul pays special attention to an authentic feel and a natural vintage sound. Under the nitrocellulosefinish, a glued mahoganyneck is used alongside the solid mahogany body without weight relief and the maple top. The "Vintage 50s" neck profile with a pleasant rounding creates the best conditions for implementing classic blues and rock playing techniques on the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard.
Gibson Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 Alnico-II humbuckers with PAF genes promise authentic blues and rock sounds with vintage touch.
Gibson Burstbucker Pickups
As pickup for the Les Paul Standard '50s guitar Gibson chooses a Set of the popular burstbuckerpickups, which carries the genes of the legendary PAF humbucker. The pickup equipped with Alnico II magnets and unpaired coils elicit the guitar amplifier airy-light Vintage sounds with vocal midrange and lively dynamics, whose métier are the classic styles of Blues and rock. The more powerful bridge pickup here elicits a harmonic Overdrive from the amplifier with well-dosed assertiveness. The hand-wired circuit with individual volume and tone pots for each pickup and "Orange Drop" capacitors allows precise adjustment of the guitar sound.
Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone flights keep the Les Paul Standard '50s securely in the correct tuning.
Vintage style hardware
Last but not least, Gibson completes the Les Paul Standard '50s Custom Color Translucent Oxblood with hardware features established since the Fifties. The lightweight aluminium stopbar guides the strings over the ABR-1 Tune-O-Maticbridge, whose adjustment options guarantee precise intonation and comfortable string action. At the headstock, the strings run over aGraph Tech nut to the precisevintage Deluxe tuners, which not only keep the electric guitar securely in tune, but also support the historic look with single-ring keystone wings.

Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Custom Color Figured Translucent Oxblood
This is a Gibson of old, made in the old way, sounds like the old way and set up 10 times better than the old way. I have refused point blank to buy a Gibson for many years due to their sub standard and sloppy production but I can honestly say it really has been worth the weight. Very very highly recommended and priced about right now as well. Well done Gibson 👏

I was so happy when I had the guitar but when I started playing the bridge humbucker didn't work EVEN thought it certified by it's quality from Gibson and MusicStore.
Really shameful from Gibson and MusicStore but the store sent me a new one that has some finishing issues but I kept because I fell in love with it and I didn't want to go through this a 3rd time.
Be aware of buying from MusicStore but bear in mind they will help you if you contact with a faulty product

This Les Paul is a chunky boi, it is heavy, both in weight and sound. The cleans really clear and sweet sounding, the neck is also a chunky piece of wood to wrap that hand around, the finish is lovely and very sparkly shiny. Its great
