The guitar’s amber hat knobs further enhance its vintage appeal. Its tonal character is shaped by a pair of legendary P-90 pickups—one in the neck position and one in the bridge position.

The guitar embodies classic Les Paul styling, featuring a carved maple top on a solid mahogany body, trapezoid fingerboard inlays, and the iconic gold finish that defines its vintage charm. Even the internal circuitry is meticulously handwired with Orange Drop capacitors. Playability is a top priority for Gibson, and this guitar doesn’t disappoint.

The frets are Plek’d to perfection, guaranteeing precise intonation and outstanding playability.

Furthermore, the Les Paul Standard ’50s P-90 showcases a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, reminiscent of vintage Gibson guitars. Nitro finishes, being thinner than modern polyurethane finishes, allow the wood to breathe and resonate more freely. This not only contributes to the guitar’s exquisite appearance but also enhances its overall tonal characteristics. The result is an instrument that not only looks and feels like a cherished classic but also ages gracefully over time, further enhancing its sonic qualities. Whether you’re a fan of classic rock, blues, or any genre that thrives on a versatile and vintage-inspired tone, this guitar embodies the timeless spirit of Gibson’s Les Paul lineage.
