Product Overview
The Gibson Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 solidbody electric guitar is a legend reborn. This iconic axe blends vintage-inspired looks with innovative, professional-level features, transporting players back to the golden age of rock and roll. At its core is a mahogany body with maple top and a rounded '50s-style mahogany neck for resonant, full-bodied tone. Coveted P-90 single-coil pickups deliver clarity and punch, powered by handwired electronics and Orange Drop capacitors. From its gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish to its vintage hardware, the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 is a tribute to Gibson's storied history of excellence.
P-90 Pickups Provide Versatile Tone
The Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 is equipped with P-90 single-coil pickups in the neck and bridge positions. Renowned for their tonal versatility and articulate midrange, these Alnico V magnet pickups produce everything from glassy cleans to raunchy overdrive. The 3-way pickup selector allows players to access the neck pickup solo, bridge pickup solo or both pickups together.
Handwired Electronics Yield Vintage Sound
Gibson's handwired electronics feature quality components like audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, which help shape the Les Paul Standard '50s P-90's tone. Two volume and two tone controls provide flexibility in dialing in your perfect sound.
'50s Profile Neck Offers Fast, Comfortable Playing
This Les Paul's mahogany neck has a rounded '50s profile for a fast, comfortable playing feel. Its rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium-jumbo frets and acrylic trapezoid inlays. A 12" fingerboard radius and 1.695" nut width strike a balance between vintage specifications and modern playability.
Vintage-Style Bridge and Tuning Machines
An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece anchor the strings and provide exceptional intonation and sustain. Vintage deluxe tuning machines with keystone buttons complete the look and performance.
