Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Faded Vintage Honey Burst 8.5 #219550057

The Les Paul™ Standard 50s Faded is a roaring tribute to the golden age of rock 'n' roll—bringing back the legendary design that’s been shredded, strummed, and celebrated across generations and genres. This axe isn't just a nod to Gibson’s era of groundbreaking innovation—it resurrects it with an authenticity that hits you right in the soul.

Draped in a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this beauty feels like it’s been your go-to companion for years—smooth, worn-in, and ready to wail. Built the old-school way, it features a solid mahogany body with zero weight relief, keeping things as classic as they come. Topping it off is an AA figured carved maple cap that delivers a perfect balance of warmth and bite—because let’s be real, figured maple looks downright killer.

The 50s Vintage-style mahogany neck packs just the right amount of heft—substantial but never sluggish—while the satin finish ensures your fingers fly across the fretboard effortlessly. Speaking of which, the rosewood fretboard is decked out with 22 medium jumbo frets and iconic acrylic trapezoid inlays, sitting on a 12” radius that’s perfect for everything from first-position chording to scorching solos.

This beast is locked and loaded with a ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, all working together to deliver endless sustain and rock-solid tuning stability. Whether you're dialing it down or cranking it to eleven, the gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers make sure you’re always in control.

Under the hood, you’ve got the legendary Gibson Burstbucker™ 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups—nickel-covered and hand-wired with audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors—delivering that unmistakable PAF-inspired tone with a modern edge.

And because every rockstar needs protection for their prized possession, the Les Paul Standard 50s Faded comes with a hardshell case, keeping it safe and sound on the road to your next gig.

Plug in. Crank it up. And let the Les Paul Standard 50s Faded take you to sonic heaven.
