Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Electric Guitar - Gold Top

Experience the timeless tone and craftsmanship of a true rock icon with the Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s Electric Guitar in Gold Top finish. Now available at Guitar World Australia, this classic solidbody electric guitar delivers the vintage feel and sound that shaped generations of music. Whether you're in Brisbane, Sydney, or right here on the Gold Coast QLD, this premium Gibson guitar is your ticket to legendary performance and unmistakable style.

Faithful to its roots, the Les Paul Standard '50s model features a solid mahogany body with a stunning carved maple top, delivering rich, resonant tones with enhanced sustain. The guitar’s nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only enhances its aesthetic but also allows the wood to breathe, improving its tonal characteristics over time.

Under the hood, you’ll find a pair of Burstbucker humbuckers—Burstbucker 1 at the neck and Burstbucker 2 at the bridge—powered by handwired electronics with Orange Drop capacitors. These pickups are designed to replicate the sound of original 1950s PAF pickups, giving you lush cleans, singing highs, and snarling overdrive perfect for blues, rock, or classic riffs. Whether clean or cranked, this guitar sings with vintage soul.

Playability is where this guitar truly shines. The vintage-style ’50s mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard is shaped for comfort, offering a substantial yet incredibly playable feel. The frets are meticulously leveled using a Plek Pro system, ensuring buttery smooth action and accurate intonation straight from the factory—typically a premium feature reserved for custom shop guitars.

From its 12" fingerboard radius and rolled edges to its Vintage Deluxe tuners and ABR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge, every detail of this Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s is built for tone, durability, and pure player satisfaction. Whether you're gigging locally or recording in the studio, this guitar is a must-have addition to any serious guitarist's collection.
