This is a really classy Les Paul Standard and a particularly nice take on the traditional ’50s formula. The Honey Burst finish looks superb over the maple top, and the Faded satin nitro treatment gives the guitar a more natural, played-in feel without going anywhere near full relic territory. Paired with the rosewood board and nickel hardware, it has a warm, understated vintage look.

The rounded ’50s neck gives it a substantial and comfortable feel in the hand, while the mahogany body and carved maple top provide the classic Les Paul balance of warmth, sustain and attack. The Burstbucker 1 and 2 pairing is a great fit, offering an open, vintage-inspired humbucker voice with plenty of clarity, woody mids and enough bite for driven rhythm and lead work. A very straightforward but extremely effective Les Paul that captures a lot of the appeal of a vintage-style Standard at a more accessible level than the Custom Shop models.

Mint condition. Presents exceptionally well overall, with no noteworthy marks, fret wear or signs of use to mention. Supplied with its original Gibson hardshell case and associated documentation.
