The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Faded electric guitar takes players back to the Golden Era of Gibson’s innovation, offering the rich tones of the original Les Paul with a satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. This faded aesthetic gives the guitar a naturally worn-in look, perfect for players who want vintage tones paired with a modern, broken-in feel. With its blend of mahogany warmth and AA figured maple top brightness, the 50s Faded captures the essence of the original Les Paul sound.

Rich Mahogany Body With Figured Maple Top
The Les Paul Standard 50s Faded features a solid mahogany body for warm, resonant tones. Topped with AA figured maple, the guitar offers enhanced clarity and a striking visual appeal.

Paired with a rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, this guitar feels as great as it sounds.

Burstbucker Pickups Deliver Classic PAF Tones
Equipped with Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups, the 50s Faded delivers the coveted PAF-style tone that defined the Les Paul. These pickups offer rich harmonics, well-balanced output, and dynamic response for players seeking everything from smooth blues to high-gain rock tones.

Aged Satin Finish for a Vintage Look
The satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish adds a vintage touch, giving the guitar the appearance of a well-played instrument. This thin finish not only enhances the guitar’s resonance but also adds a natural, aged look that appeals to players seeking that vintage aesthetic.
