- Is the Les Paul Standard '50s worth it over the '60s model?
- The main difference is the neck: the '50s has a thicker vintage carve, the '60s a slimmer one. Pick the one whose neck feels right to you; both use Burstbucker pickups.
- How heavy is it?
- It has no weight relief, so expect a heavy guitar, typically in the 9 to 10 pound range. Try one standing before buying if weight matters.
- What pickups does it have?
- A Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge, wired for classic humbucker tones.
- What's in the box?
- The guitar comes with a Gibson hardshell case. Check the listing for any included case candy or certificate.
- When is it cheapest?
- Gibson MAP pricing keeps new prices fairly steady across stores. Watch for seasonal sales and open-box or demo listings for savings.
