Les Paul Standard 50s Faded

The Les Paul Standard 50s Faded embodies the timeless design that defined musical history. With its solid mahogany body and AA figured carved maple cap, this guitar produces a rich, warm tone paired with stunning looks. The satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish offers a played-in feel, while the 50s-style neck profile ensures a comfortable playing experience.

Equipped with Burstbucker pickups and a precision-wired control setup, this model promises the sound and reliability Les Paul fans expect. It is available in Vintage Tobacco Burst and Vintage Honey Burst.

Les Paul Standard 50s Mahogany Top

Also in the lineup, the Les Paul Standard 50s Mahogany Top, available in TV Yellow and an exclusive Vintage Cherry, sees the traditional maple cap normally found on Les Paul Standard models swapped out for a solid mahogany top, offering a subtly different accent to traditional Les Paul Standards, with punchier mids. Everything from the neck profile to the Tune-O-Matic™ bridge stays true to the classic Les Paul design, with this model offering a warmer sound that some players may prefer for its depth and character.
