The Les Paul Standard 50s Mahogany Top keeps the classic Les Paul design and pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of Innovation. It has a solid mahogany body with a mahogany top in place of the usual maple top. This is similar to some Les Paul Customs, and it gives a slightly warmer, more midrange-focused tone.
The mahogany neck has a rounded 50s Vintage profile. The rosewood fingerboard has 22 medium jumbo frets and trapezoid inlays. Hardware includes an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and black Top Hat knobs.
The Burstbucker 1 pickup is in the neck position and the Burstbucker 2 is in the bridge position. Both use Alnico 2 magnets and are wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. A hardshell case is included.
