Gibson

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.

Features:

The standard is the way to go Plays like a dream very smooth I play Blues and what it delivers is just amazing I play through a Marshall MG102 amp and it just kicks butt

Quality:

I bought a used 2008 Gold Top and it is just flawless. I ve learned over time to just wipe it down good after you ve finished playing I use Gibson polish atleast once a week and it just looks sooooooo good

Value:

For what they sell new for if you can afford it get one I kinda shopped around for awhile and finally foud one 3 yrs old but just in great condition. The guy needed cash fast and got it for a steal with hard case Just a steal in my book I wouldn t get rid of it ever

Overall:

A Gold Top Les Paul Standard is in my thought about the only way to go It has the looks sound dependability of anything you would want in a quality guitar You won t go wrong getting one

Just purchased this guitar used in like new condition. This guitar is amazing you get what you pay for. There was only one set back I purchased the guitar in like new conditions and recieved a guitar with a cracked neck. I knew that the guitar would come with a few scratches but never expected to have a cracked neck. I called costumer service told them the situation they said I could return it but who wants to go through the hassle and time of returning a guitar, and not know whats wrong with the next used les paul they'll send. This site should be more specific on what the condition of there guitars are. Point in case guitar make sure you buy a expensive guitar like this in person and not online . You will never know what condition your guitar is in when its shipped to you. No one wants to be hassled with returning a guitar.

I didn't have to change the tuners, or add strap locks like I had to do to all my other Gibsons. I bought this guitar so I could actually play gigs with it and not just hang it on my wall. It feels good, sounds awesome and plays better than my other gibsons.

This is not a les paul standard.  It weighs as much as an SG, which is a much bettter guitar.   I have a 2003 LP standard.  It's big and heavy, falls on the floor, put up with it, I got a friggin broken back.
