Comfortable asymmetrical neck is Plek-dressed.
Crank up a Les Paul Standard Electric Guitar and experience power and performance that has more than
40 years of craftsmanship and innovation behind it.
Pioneered and developed with the assistance of pioneering jazz-pop
guitarist Les Paul-one of the world's greatest musical and technological pioneers-the Gibson Les Paul has become the standard
by which all electric guitars are judged. With fat, rich tone and incredible sustain, the Les Paul guitar lends itself to
every style and generation of music. From the sweetest jazz to the heaviest rock and metal, the Les Paul is a guitar that
can do it all-it is one of the most powerful and versatile instruments of all time.
The Les Paul Standard Guitar debuted
in 1952 as Gibson's first solidbody guitar, and has evolved over the course of time to stand today as the benchmark for all
electric guitars.
The Les Paul Standard continues to alter and inspire the sounds of today's ever-changing musical
landscapes. It features a hand-carved AA maple top with matched chambered mahogany back outlined with single-ply binding.
The neck is crafted from a single piece of mahogany. Carefully glued into the neck cavity of the body, the neck functions
as a single unit with the body. Its asymmetrical shape is the most comfortable neck offered on a Les Paul Standard.
Burstbucker
Pro pickups containing Alnico V magnets wound to vintage specs and with wax potting deliver original "Patent Applied For"
tone.
All Les Paul Standard necks receive precision fret dressing and setup with the Plek system. As the guitar lies
in a cradle, a computer-controlled robot arm moves along the neck measuring each fret's height, the fingerboard radius, even
the bow in the neck. Using that data, the Plek machine adjusts the truss rod, cuts the nut slots for optimal spacing and height
for each string, files each fret to a hundredth of a millimeter accuracy, and then polishes the frets. In a fraction of the
time it takes a skilled technician, the Plek machine eliminates buzzing strings and dead spots, producing a neck with flawless
intonation and superb action.
NOTE: To give you a choice of how your Les Standard should look, the pickguard is not
attached but included in the case. To install the pickguard, holes will need to be drilled into the body.
