Description
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
