A stunning modern classic that captures the golden era of Gibson craftsmanship. This 2023 Gibson Les Paul Standard ‘50s in Cardinal Red pays homage to the original design that set the benchmark for electric guitars.

Featuring a solid mahogany body with a plain maple top, this Les Paul delivers the rich warmth and sustain players expect, paired with plenty of bite and clarity. The rounded 50s Vintage neck profile feels substantial and comfortable in the hand, topped with a rosewood fingerboard adorned with classic trapezoid inlays.

Under the hood, the calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups with Alnico II magnets and Orange Drop capacitors provide that authentic vintage tone — warm, dynamic, and full of character. Hardware includes a Tune-O-Matic bridge, aluminum stop bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners, and gold Top Hat knobs, staying true to the era it celebrates.

Finished in a bold and elegant Cardinal Red, this Les Paul isn’t just a tone powerhouse — it’s a showpiece. Comes with the original Gibson hardshell case.
