The Les Paul Standard 50s with Bigsby is Gibson's vintage-spec single-cut with a licensed Bigsby vibrato added. It pairs a non-weight-relieved mahogany body and AA figured maple top with a chunky Vintage 50s neck, a 12-inch rosewood board and Burstbucker 1 and 2 humbuckers wired to audio taper pots and Orange Drop capacitors. It suits players who want classic Les Paul tone and looks plus gentle vibrato, and it trades the weight relief and coil splits of modern Standards for period-correct hardware. The Bigsby adds weight and changes the feel of the tailpiece, and the solid body is heavy on the shoulder.

Owners of the 50s Standard line praise the Burstbucker tone, the hand-wired harness and the period-correct feel. The Bigsby version draws mixed notes: players like the vibrato character but flag the extra weight and fussier string changes.
The Les Paul Standard 50s with Bigsby is a Les Paul built to 1950s-era specifications and fitted with a Bigsby B7 vibrato tailpiece. The vibrato lets the player bend the pitch of chords and single notes.
It has a non-weight-relieved mahogany body with a carved, AA figured maple top. The mahogany neck has a Vintage 50s profile. The bound Indian rosewood fretboard has a 12" radius, 22 medium jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays.
Burstbucker 1 and Burstbucker 2 humbucker pickups, both with Alnico 2 magnets, are designed to recreate the sound of early Patent Applied For-style humbuckers. They are hand-wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop tone capacitors. The guitar comes with a Gibson hardshell case.
