Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top - Tobacco Burst - 2024 - Secondhand

Introducing this pre-loved Gibson Les Paul Standard 1950s with a figured top. Its serial number dates it to 2024, so it's just over 2 years old. Arriving with the original case, this well-looked-after electric guitar offers the ultimate definition of Modern Gibson craftsmanship: a well-balanced guitar that sounds right and delivers when it needs to.

It's finished in a Tobacco Burst with an AA figured maple top that's subtle yet eye-catching. The thick 1950s-profiled neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard is easy to navigate, while the solid mahogany back with maple top lets the guitar breathe and sustain.

Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups deliver the warm midrange, articulate highs, and rich harmonic character of classic vintage PAF-style humbuckers.

Iconic 1950s Styling With a Beautiful Figured Maple Cap

With its figured maple top and Tobacco Burst finish, this pre-loved Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top combines timeless looks with the unmistakable character of a classic Les Paul. The carved maple cap adds clarity, while the figured maple veneer creates a distinctive grain pattern and visual depth, making this classic workhorse as visually appealing as it is practical.

Underneath, the solid mahogany body features no weight relief, giving the guitar the substantial feel, warmth, and long-lasting sustain associated with the Les Paul design. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the vintage-inspired aesthetic and will naturally develop its own character over time, making each instrument increasingly individual with age.

Authentic 50s Neck Profile for Vintage Feel

The chunky 1950s neck profile offers a solid grip for comfort and support while fretting. Designed for both rhythm and lead playing, this solid mahogany neck adds sustain and warmth, while the bound Indian rosewood fretboard features 22 medium jumbo frets that make navigation and movement across the fretboard seamless.

Classic PAF Character, Hand-Wired for Control

The Les Paul Standard 50s pairs a Burstbucker 1 at the neck with a Burstbucker 2 at the bridge, recreating the distinctive voice of vintage PAF humbuckers. Alnico 2 magnets give these pickups a responsive, well-balanced sound, combining smooth mid-range warmth with crisp treble and articulate low-end definition.

From bluesy, singing tones to thick, hard-hitting rock sounds, the hand-wired electronics make it easy to shape your sound with accuracy. Audio taper potentiometers provide natural, gradual control over volume and tone, while Orange Drop capacitors contribute to the guitar's classic tonal response.

Switching between the neck, bridge, and combined positions is quick and effortless thanks to the three-way toggle, offering plenty of flexibility while retaining that unmistakable Gibson character.

Classic Appointments, Dependable Performance

A carefully selected range of vintage-style hardware gives this Les Paul its unmistakable 1950s character while providing dependable performance on stage or in the studio. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece work together to provide excellent sustain and dependable tuning stability.

Vintage Deluxe tuners fitted with Keystone buttons offer smooth, precise tuning while complementing the guitar’s traditional aesthetic. Elsewhere, Gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers add an authentic period touch, while cream binding, a matching cream pickguard, and an amber switch tip bring together the instantly recognisable look of a classic 50s Les Paul.

Every detail captures the feel and look of the original era without compromising everyday reliability.
