Gibson USA Les Paul Standard '50s P90 Gold Top

The flagship Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it famous, paying tribute to Gibson's "Golden Era" of innovation and bringing authenticity back to life! The Les Paul Standard '50s P-90 has a solid Mahogany body with a Maple top and a rounded '50s-style Mahogany neck with a Rosewood fingerboard; delivering the rich tone that all Gibson guitars are known for.

It also comes equipped with an ABR-1 bridge (the classic-style Tune-O-Matic), an aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and Top Hat knobs. The classic P-90 pickups (neck and bridge) are loaded with Alnico 5 magnets, audio taper potentiometers, and Orange Drop capacitors.
