Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top Translucent Fuchsia #227230115

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top in Translucent Fuchsia delivers a classic design with a vibrant new colour. Without being a specific vintage reissue, this model will deliver a definitive Les Paul experience!

The body of this model has zero weight relief, a bonus for Les Paul aficionados, some who believe the drill holes used by Gibson to remove the heft of a solid mahogany body, take with them some of the tone. Gibson have listened to those who are after a 'full fat' Les Paul and have delivered exactly that.

Features We Love:

Vibrant Colour!

We all know and love the classic Sunburst Standards and "Tuxedo" Customs, but it's very refreshing to see such vibrant new colours on a Les Paul. The Translucent Fuchsia finish here not only accents the beautiful figured maple top but delivers a modern spin that will catch the eye of every player!

Full Fat Les Paul

A point of contention, some believe that the chambered body of newer Les Pauls can have a thinner tone than what you would expect to get from a Les Paul. This model has none of that! This mahogany body has zero weight relief giving you the 'full fat' Les Paul tone so many desire. But make sure your shoulder is ready for the heft!

Vintage '50s Neck

Some what more substantial than Gibson's 'Slim Taper' neck profile, the 'Vintage '50s' neck feels great in your hands and is fantastic for both rhythm and lead playing. We'd even go as far as to say that larger necks are more comfortable over a longer period of time rockin' out!

Who Is It For?

The Les Paul player who is looking for something a bit different, this 50's Standard keeps all the feel and tone we love but revitalises it's look with a vibrant colour.

Highlights:

• Vibrant colour sets it apart from other Standard Les Pauls
• Zero weight relief, giving the 'full fat' Les Paul tone
• The larger 'Vintage '50s' neck feels great and will have you playing all night long!
