A Classic Les Paul in a Standout Custom Color
If you've ever thought a Les Paul Standard needed something a little different without losing what makes it a Les Paul, this is it. The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Plain Top in Inverness Green delivers all the golden-era specs you'd expect — solid mahogany body, carved maple top, that chunky 50s Vintage neck profile, and Burstbucker pickups — but wrapped in a color that actually turns heads. Inverness Green is a vintage custom color pulled from 1960s Cadillac catalogs, and it sits somewhere between bluish-green and patina, depending on the light. It's bold without being flashy, classic without being predictable.
This is a no-nonsense, non-weight-relieved Les Paul built the traditional way. The solid mahogany body provides warmth and sustain, while the carved plain maple top adds clarity and definition to your tone. The 50s Vintage neck profile fills your hand with a rounded, substantial feel that's comfortable for rhythm work and lead playing alike. Bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium jumbo frets, trapezoid inlays — all the visual and tactile details that define a Les Paul Standard. Whether you're digging into power chords or working through solos, this guitar feels like the real deal because it is.
Burstbucker Pickups Deliver Vintage PAF-Style Tone
The calibrated Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups are loaded with Alnico 2 magnets and wired to audio taper potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors. These pickups are Gibson's take on the revered PAF humbuckers of the late 1950s, offering an open, articulate tone with plenty of warmth and dynamic response. The Burstbucker 2 in the bridge is slightly hotter than the neck pickup to balance output across both positions, giving you clarity and punch when you need it. The hand-wired electronics preserve your tone even when you roll back the volume, so you get full dynamic range whether you're playing clean or driving an amp into overdrive.
Plug this guitar into your favorite amp and you'll hear smooth low-end response, complex midrange crunch, and sweet-sounding highs. These pickups excel at everything from clean jazz tones to searing rock leads. The combination of solid mahogany, carved maple, and vintage-voiced humbuckers gives you the sustain, resonance, and tonal balance that's made the Les Paul a studio and stage standard for decades.
50s Vintage Neck Profile and Premium Hardware
The neck features a 50s Vintage profile, 24.75-inch scale length, and 1.69-inch nut width, delivering that classic chunky feel without being overwhelming. The mahogany neck has a rounded 50s Vintage profile with a rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. The bound fingerboard with rolled edges ensures smooth playability across all 22 medium jumbo frets. The fingerboard has a 12-inch radius, offering a comfortable feel for bending and chording.
It's equipped with an ABR-1, the classic-style Tune-O-Matic bridge, an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, and gold Top Hat knobs. The ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece deliver rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, while the nickel hardware and cream plastics complete the vintage aesthetic. This guitar is finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, allowing the wood to breathe and age naturally over time — just like the original 1950s Les Pauls.
